U10 DEVelopmental Program
This is a coed program for players born in 2016 and 2017. It is based on the continued development of player skills in the "Try-Learn-Play" strategy while intriducing some competition. All players participate in the program skill development sessions scheduled weekly as well as controlled scrimmages starting later in the season. We will aim to get 3 weeks of game play. Due to the develomental aspect of the program neither scores or standings are tracked during the season & there is a end of season jamboree. During the first session at the begining of the program players will meet their instructors / coaches, meet the other players & be provided their jerseys. Additional information is available below or by contacting the Football Nova Scotia Office.
