MA Youth Soccer U5-U10 CurriculumMA Youth Soccer U5-U10 Curriculum U6

– Dribble: all sides of feet, out of trouble, past someone– Soft first touch

U8– More Dribbling– Shielding– Introduce Proper Shooting and Passing

U10– Even More Dribbling– Passing/Shooting– Receiving ball with all body parts – Heading– Basic 1v1 and 2v1 tactics


Why Focus on DribblingWhy Focus on Dribbling

Encourage ball control and creativity– U.S. Players, at all levels, lack this skill– Passing at young ages is really booting the ball

away and not ball control– At young ages athleticisim 'looks' impressive but

this encourages poor ball control


Suggested Practice FormatSuggested Practice FormatWarm up

– Get them focused, moving with/without the ball– No need to stretch at these ages

Activities (Progression)– Individual (1 ball per child)– Small groups (1 ball per 2 children)– Larger Groups/Mini games (2v2, Multiple goals

multiple balls can help not bunching).Scrimmage

– 3v3, 4v4
