At this age, more ball-touches and more decisions beat more drills. A simple shape that works: a free, playful warm-up with a ball each (let them explore); one constraint-based game that quietly forces the theme you want — want more scanning? add a rule that rewards it — then small-sided games where they make hundreds of real decisions; finish with free play. Talk less than feels natural; let the game teach. Rotate positions every session — don't lock a ten-year-old into "defender." And protect the joy: a child who loves it at ten is still playing at sixteen, and that's the whole game.
