10U Program
The 10U program was developed to continue player development in a fun yet competitive environment. After the completion of the regular season a post season tournament is played with the top two teams receiving trophies. The winner of the post season tournament is eligible to move on to the area tournament.

| Team Formation | The teams are formed via a draft. The player ratings are provided to all coaches prior to the draft. There are no more than 9 players on a team. |
| Other | Referees refrain from but still can issue foul yellow cards. Red cards are extremely rare but can be enforced. The build-out line is also used in 10U. Foul kicks are direct kicks. Bad throw-ins from the touchline are now considered as infractions and a throw-in is awarded to the opposing team. The corner and goal kicks are used in this division but there are no headers. |
