Football Youth Concept Age Group U9-U13

Summary Youth Concept Age Group 9–13 Years

In the age group 9-13 years, the focus is on individual development and the joy of playing. The aim is to give the young players a broad footballing basis and to promote their technical, tactical, motor and social skills in an age-appropriate way. The focus is on learning and consolidating basic techniques such as passing, dribbling, ball control and scoring. At the same time, the first tactical elements such as build-up, positional play and simple interaction are introduced.

The training is playful and varied, with many ball contacts and in small groups. Creativity, the courage to make one's own decisions and fair play are specifically promoted. The trainers act primarily as motivating learning companions. Pressure to perform and a focus on results take a back seat in favor of a positive learning environment.
