Growing Her Game

Coaching girls at Under-10 and Under-11 — the 7v7 game

“She is starting to think about football. Now help her feel it.”

Size 3

No offside
Offside is not introduced until 9v9 — not at 7v7
2025–26
Heading banned at U10 from this season. U11 from 2026–27.
Coach Note
Ask "what did you see?" more than "why didn't you pass?" The first question builds tactical intelligence. The second builds anxiety. Both are asking about the same moment — the emotional environment they create is completely different.
