U9-U10 Winter Programming
Activities for U9-U10 groups run December into March. We will provide an environment where players will train technical skills, giving them a foundation as players to develop and learn the game with confidence and joy. We will put them in situations to make decisions individually, while teaching them what they can do in different tactical situations they will find themselves in.
Developmental winter training takes place at the following locations:
Orchard – Blackhawk Soccer Center gym (Futsal, Team Meetings, and Events)

Training and Games
Teams participate in Twin Cities Soccer League (TCSL) in the fall and spring at the Red, White and Blue levels.
Age-group training is optional.
All age groups train at Orchard Recreational Center in St. Paul in the fall and summer. Training moves indoors during the winter months and varies by location.
U9-U10 Staff
The paid coaches are a combination of collegiate soccer players, parents, as well as coaches who have been with Blackhawks for several years.
Player Evaluations
Players registered in Blackhawks developmental programs will be assessed mid-summer for fall placement and again during winter for the following summer team placement. These dual evaluations—unique to our club—ensure the best match between players and their programs. Evaluations at this age are used to:
-
- Place developmental-aged boys and girls on summer teams with players of similar skills and ability
- Determine the number of teams to be registered at each level
- Enable the Developmental Director to adjust the curriculum based on the players participating
