Filip, I think the big emphasis for U10 should be skills and game situations. It is ok to give them positions but I think teaching them to play 1-2-3-4-5 man to man is easier as they learn to count in school. i.e. I agree that they need some team play guidelines but the focus should be on learning to skate and the skills.

I found the new diagrams I put in just go to the bottom and not in the code so I made a new folder for the diagrams and it incluces the TWC teamplate. I changed the link in the posting.

Give them home positions as D, C, W and then have them count to read where they are in the game.
