Overview
Players can commit to all or any seasons, Fall-Winter-Spring!
Registration is “By The Season” not “Year-Round”
In the 9-10U Club Development Team Program players attend a Try-Us-Out day and are placed on to teams that are the most appropriate level possible for their current ability. This allows the most potential for best player development for each individual.
Teams play in the Twin Cities Soccer League with 50% of league games played “at home” Flying Cloud Soccer Fields-Club.
Teams typically participate in 2 Summer Tournaments in the metro area and 1 in the Fall season, also local.
1 of the 2 events is the end of season TCSL Jamboree and teams choose an “In-Season” event that suits the coach and group.

Winter programs are optional:
- High Emphasis on individual ball skills, small group tactics, rules of the sport, fun, confidence building and social skills in a team environment.
- Guided Discovery Coaching/Training
- Low emphasis on winning (scores), large team tactics, commitment.

Spring/Summer Pre-season 9U-10U Practice Information (April Turf Training)
- 9U-10U Competitive team training mid April
- All training sessions are initially at Eden Prairie High School – Outdoor on Turf A and the Stadium or at the CMS turf field for some teams (check TeamSnap for your teams specific field)
- The April schedule is a little different from the May and June schedule below, as we have limited turf fields available until the weather gets better and the grass fields are available. This means training days might vary and be a little more sporadic during the first month.
- Please note – multiple teams will be training on the field. Please be sure to know your child’s coaches name and the team name so you can find the correct group on week one. It is important that your child finds the correct coach and does not jump in with any team. The coaches will have a copy of the rosters so please ask them.
- Please bring a ball and water, wear shin guards, and wear the grey training jersey to every practice. Soccer cleats can be worn on the turf.
- Please always dress for the weather. It may be cold/wet the first few weeks of the season. Bring rain jackets etc. as needed
- Weather – if training sessions are cancelled due to bad weather a club notification email will be sent out and/or it will be posted on the club website. You will not receive a notification to say practices are on, so please assume practice is on unless you receive an email to say otherwise.
- The coach will host a short team parent meeting after one of the practices in the first 2 weeks of training. Please look out for a note from the coach or team manager on this. This will be outdoors at the fields for 20-30 mins. Please bring a chair.
- Parents/Spectators should always remain at least 6 feet back from the training area during practices.
We are looking forward to seeing all the players again and to a great season of soccer!
