MA 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
Shrewsbury Youth Soccer
Why 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
Shrewsbury Youth Soccer
Suggested Practice Format

Warm 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
