The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.

In order to make practices run smoothly and be fun, it is important for us to have a basic understanding  of the intellectual, emotional and physical developmental stage of the players we are coaching. Here are some characteristics of the under 10 player:

Characteristics of the Under 10 Player
  • Lengthened attention span - they are still in motion, but not as busy, only holding still long enough for a short explanation
  • More inclined toward wanting to play rather than being told to play
  • Psychologically becoming slightly more firm and confident
  • Some are becoming serious about their play
  • Team oriented – prefer team type balls and equipment. Enjoy the uniforms and team association.
  • Boys and girls beginning to develop separately
  • Developing the pace factor – thinking ahead
