We’re Blue, We’re White, We’re Dynamite!

Whitby FC U10 Girls, the name of the game is fun

For the Whitby FC U10 Girls, the name of the game is fun. This group of girls have been learning the fundamentals of soccer through the Long Term Player Development (LTPD) Model which emphasizes making a difference in their lives and instilling a lifelong passion for the game.

Under the LTPD, coaches teach the players psychological, technical, physical, and social/emotional aspects of the game. The players have benefited from learning specific soccer skills (dribbling, shooting, passing etc.) all while building confidence and developing important life skills such as teamwork, communication, and listening. These skills are on display each and every time the girls are on the field for training or a game as their passion for playing soccer and supporting each other is evident.

The girls’ season runs for 11 months of the year and consists of two training sessions and one game per week. In the winter and early spring, the team trains in the Whitby FC Dome and plays in the York Region Indoor Soccer League. In the summer, training, and games switch to outdoors where the team practices in Whitby and plays against other clubs from around the GTA and Central Ontario.

The U10 girls have improved their individual skills and learned how to play together as a team, all while maintaining the number one goal which is to have fun and create lifelong friendships. Nothing embodies this approach more than hearing the team do their team cheer at the start and end of each game or practice. If you ever hear the chant “We’re blue, we’re white, we’re dynamite, we have the power the speed, we’re the number one team,” you know that the Whitby FC U10 Girls are about to take the field. Thank to our amazing coaching and management team for all of the hard work and time that you have spent developing this great squad!
