Why is this number reserved for the best player on the team? Number 9 is a popular one too. Everyone is always fighting for these two numbers. On my daughter's team, the coach's kid wears the number 10 jersey, though she is hardly the best. I just don't get it.

I do know that. So does that mean that coach's kid is playing center mid? And my daughter who was assigned the number 2 is set to play defense without my knowledge. These are u11 girls.

If dear daughter is number 10, she is center mid. Not shocking coach puts his own kid center mid or striker.

My son wore the number 10 from u8-u12 then they assigned it to someone else. Just the way the cookie crumbles. Its just a number. Not necessarily the best player on the field though center mid is a very important position should be filled by one of the more skilled players on the team. I have seen some bad ass defenders too who in my opinion don't get the credit they deserve but when they make a little mistake, everyone notices.

American coaches know Cruyff, some only for the turn... but American coaches know Barça & they know Cruyff brought the Dutch influence there...
you know, because we have google.

1
2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9 10 11
2 backs, 3 mids, 5 forwards (2 wingers, 2 inside forwards, striker)
Back when svoring goals was in vogue
The 10 reverence is generally reserved for Pele, who is the worlds greatest inside forward
Now numbering means nothing

I might have the #s backward
The 5 was your best player on the pitch as center mid.
