Such are the rules for US youth soccer and for any FYSA tournament. Teams fielding a 10-yr old on a heading game are disqualified and coach suspended up to one year. Learn the rules.

It will be a loooong U12 DA season not able to play any official games or tournaments because of the heading rules. Don't say we did not try to inform you about it.Comment

U12 DA does not follow heading rule no matter the age of the kid. There are 06's and 07's currently playing and heading the ball.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

5. U-12 Heading Education: If a player is playing up in an older age group (ex: 10-year-old playing with a U-12 team), please note that players who are 10 and younger should not be heading the ball regardless of the age group in which they play. This requires education and support from the coach and parent to instruct the player accordingly.Comment

Thank you for sharing the DA rules. However, in some important tournaments, some more restrictive rules apply even to DA teams. U12 DA teams participatig in FYSA cups this year are not allowed to field 10-yr olds in games, due to the difficulty for the referee to sort out who is or who is not allowrd to head the ball. See President's Cup rules for more detail.Comment

Didn't mean to get everyone deep in the weeds about heading rules. That's not what got my kid noticed. At 10, who cares. He's actually still 9. Just wanted to get a feeling of what to expect in terms of possible playing time. He hasn't officially made the team for next season yet. I know they liked what they saw. Trying to decide if it's worth it to go into this at this age or continue with his club where he is developing greatly for another year.Comment

What does he want? It's his path so he needs to want it. Which has better coaching? Always go to where the best coaching is. It might not always be DA depending on the clubs in your area. Does he enjoy other sports? If so, stay with something that will give him more flexibility in doing other things.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
He's still very young and if he wanted to move into it a year or two from now he should be fine (as long as he keeps developing and working at it). I'd also be concerned about PT as most of his teammates start to grow at a faster rate - the struggle to keep up can become very real (been there). If he gets an offer and you decide to decline, use the obvious excuse that you're concerned about him being so young on an older team. That way you don't burn bridges and have an easy way to slide back in next yearComment

It sounds like your kid is a 2007? That's still very young. Go with the best coaching. It's still an age when technical development should be #1.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Quality of DA coaching largely depends on the club. Your kid will play probably half of most games. If you want him developing in a situation where he plays the entire game and is the focus on the team, that's not DA. He will be one of many.
Last, an 07 playing on an 06 DA does not mean your kid is superstar. It means they have a lot of spots to fill and your kid is a good player for his age.Comment
