It would depend on the skill levels of your under 10's. Mine are reasonably good but i have coached them for two years and so work on strengths and weaknesses with them. If you are new to them i would undertake an assessment of each boys abilities by running a series of skill test, i.e. control, passing, dribbling, shooting, heading. When you have established where the basic strengths and weaknesses are tailor your training accordingly. We play good teams but also play weak teams at under 10 so standards differ significantly. From an English perspective i think that we are keener on quick passing, movement andshooting whereas Amricans are keener on dribbling as a major part of the game.

I would suggets that anyone who wants to play for Arsenal should change their nationality to French!
