The McLean Youth Soccer U8-U10 program offers a FUN, friendly, non-results oriented team structured program focusing on age-appropriate skill development. MYS Professional Technical Staff visit games to offer enhanced coaching education/support for volunteer/parent coaches in the form of "help on request" during games.

- On Saturdays, two MYS teams play two side-by-side games using a continuous play model that maximizes touches on the ball.
U9-U10 Format:
