U9/U10 – Under 9 and 10
Program Objectives: Mankato United participates in the Southern Minnesota Soccer Alliance, which combines a recreational philosophy with limited travel. There are no tryouts and no players are cut. Players rotate field positions and each player present plays at least 50% of the game except for reasons of illness or injury. The program teaches basic soccer concepts and skills, developing self-confidence, and emphasizes fair play, healthy competition, and fun.
Schedule: Each team must have at least one volunteer coach. Volunteer coaches are essential to the operation of this program. Teams are single-gender and usually practice on weekday evenings. Games are generally on weekends, though there may be an occasional weeknight game. The season generally runs from mid-May to early-July. Games are in Mankato and other communities including Lake Crystal, New Ulm, St. Peter, and Waseca. Travel is an integral part of the Rec Plus experience. Before registering, please consider carefully your commitment to this aspect of the program!
Uniforms/Equipment: Required equipment includes MUSC uniform, which includes a white jersey, a green jersey, shorts, & stockings, shin guards, and soccer or athletic shoes.
