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.

Where do the sessions, practices & scrimmages take place? All sessions, practices & scrimmages will take place at Harbour East All Weather Field Turf, 261 Commordore Drive, Dartmouth, NS.
Are players assigned to specific teams / coaches? No they are not, players will be divided up into groups to participate in the skills development practices & into teams on those days when they will play scrimmages. Several coaches will be at each of the practices or scrimmages & will be randomly assigned to the groups and / or teams as needed.
What does my child need to play? All players must wear a mouthguard. Solid coloured shorts or pants without pockets, as well as cleats with plastic or rubber studs are encouraged. Player jerseys, flags, and all other required equipment will be provided by the league. Wearing a shirt underneath jerseys is also recommended, as the jerseys are reversable and players may need to flip jerseys inside-out to switch colours.
