U10 Teams Recruiting Players for Next Season
As young players within Leicestershire and Rutland get older, the format of football they play changes. 5v5 moves on to 7v7, which in turn develops to 9v9
before transitioning to 11v11.
Although the changing format in youth football is absolutely right for player development, it can cause some challenges for teams wishing to make the
transition to the next format of the game, especially teams with a low squad number that are expected to make the step up. In the past, this has commonly
been those teams at Under-10 and Under-12 level in mixed gender football.
As a County FA, we want to support those teams that are enduring these challenges, and in turn prevent the potential drop-out of young players that the
transition of game formats has previously caused, therefore please see the following page of this document to see a list of teams looking for players at
u10 in advance of next season.
At present, the changing formats in relation to youth football are as follows:
