Under 10s Mini Football

Children turning 10 in the calendar year will be in the Under 10s grade. Girls turning 11 will also have the option to play in Under 10s if playing in a mixed team.

Players are allocated into teams which they will remain in for the duration of the season. As per guidelines from NZ Football there will not be any trials in the U10 grade, and no "A Team" will be selected. Teams will instead be chosen so as to be relatively even where possible, with an emphasis on continuity and keeping players in the same team from one year to the next.

Format

Games are 7-a-side, including a goalkeeper, and are played with a size 4 ball.

Competition matches are played on Saturdays, with each team playing 2 x 25 minute games. Teams can be re-graded over the course of the season to ensure they are playing against other sides at a similar level to themselves.

Teams will also have mid-week training, either at Grenada North Park, or another local venue.
