year round futsal for U10

Happy New Year Pete,


I coach a U10 7v7 team in Colorado Springs in the US. We are not at the highest level in the state, but compete well with the second tier. Futsal has not really caught on in our area, but is growing rapidly in Denver.


I was wondering what your thoughts, and the group's thoughts, are on the utility of implementing 1 day a week futsal training for 90 minutes in addition to our two weekly outdoor sessions and games. Our third session last season was a skills and finishing session, so that is what we would be giving up.

Erwin,

Thanks so much for your question and The Session Collective wish you a very happy New Year too. You ask a really good question and one where I may have to put my personal biases to one side (if this is ever truly possible). I am a huge advocate for Futsal as a game in its own right but also the role it can play as we try to add volume, variety and real value to the development programmes of our young players. The demands, in all corners of development for our young players in Futsal, mean that just by playing the game they are presented with very high challenges and because of this I would always try to expose young players to the game and its unique constraints.

In my humble opinion I believe a switch to Futsal as you describe would be a very positive step and many of the returns you might get from your skills and finishing session will be present in your Futsal sessions.

Let us know how you get on and if there are any other coaches out there who have added Futsal to their provision please comment and support Erwin as a valued member of our community.

Good luck.

Pete

Format changes for 2025-2026 season

Hi coaches, as we approach the end of another year and look forward to what the New Year might hold, I was giving some thought to how we might change things to "enable" our youngest players (and still children) to have a great time if they chose to try football right at the beginning of their sporting journey.

It would be great if we shared our thoughts and ideas on this forum.

I have attached some ideas to get the discussion going.

Cheers

Pete

ARC Raiders Items in-game store has just received a fresh update for any players looking to brave the mech-ridden wasteland in some stylish new gear. Even Scrappy, everyone's favorite rooster, is getting in on the fun.


Alongside a new patch, Arc Raiders has some new looks for the fashion-forward players by way of the new Wilderness Scout and Leviathan sets. The former is the more affordable of the two and will cost players 1,150 raider tokens, which translates to $10. The latter, which is a bit more extravagant, will run folks 1,600 tokens, or roughly $15.


The Wilderness Scout set is more toned-down than its companion and most resembles common hiking gear. The player is outfitted in a long coat (whose colorways can be changed), tights and ice cleats, as well as a sort of aviation helmet. The helmet's visor can be kept up or down, and the whole headpiece can be toggled off, revealing the set's soot-covered skin, recalling the defining look of Furiosa from George Miller's recent Mad Max movies.


The Leviathan set, as the name might suggest, is far more nautical. The whole thing resembles a kind of old-fashioned diving suit, complete with a lavish fishbowl helmet that'll definitely raise an eyebrow or two in the heat of battle. I'm burning up just thinking of wearing that thing in the desert. The Leviathan skin comes with an oxygen tank, and a backpack covered in netting, as well as what appears to be some barnacles. I wouldn't loot that thing with a 10-foot (and deeply sterilized) pole.


Additionally, Scrappy, the rooster who frequents players' home base and scavenges for materials, can be equipped with a miniaturized version of the Leviathan diving helmet as part of the Deep Sea Bird set, which is going for another $10. That isn't all players should expect though. A new update that just released will be rolling out new map conditions for folks to experience, and a ARCR Items for sale pair of exciting updates are coming to Arc Raiders over the next few months, introducing new quests, gear, maps, and more.
