Be Happy the are getting that type of skill development. Soccer is about 1v1 battles and being able to handle the ball in tight space. Alot of players at that age struggle with this and never make it to the next level. At some clubs they are not even doing a lot of skill but drills and playing but if you cant handle the ball it does not do you much good. U-10 is still young and they get more touches on the ball at 8v8 then they would at 11 v 11. That is the reason for smaller numbers of players. This is state wide. This is what USYSA wants. Give it time and you will see it will work.
