If the answer is within our football knowledge, we'll help there and then.

If we don't know enough, we won't guess.

If your question needs more context, we'll ask. If we don't have enough reliable information, we'll tell you.

When we can help

YOUR ANSWER

At U10, the maximum format is 7v7 and the ball should be a Size 3. Matches can last up to 50 minutes, and deliberate heading isn't permitted.

Generated using knowledge from current-season FA Laws and guidance.

When we shouldn't guess

This one needs a human eye

WE'D RATHER NOT GUESS.

We'd rather say "we don't know" than give you a poor answer.

If our knowledge is strong enough, we'll use it. If it isn't, we won't guess. We'll suggest a UEFA-licensed coach instead.
