Youth Academy

U-11 to U-12 Age Group
9 vs 9 format

Foundation Phase (9v9 Development)
Players at this age are in a key learning stage, making it the ideal time to develop strong technical skills and ball mastery.
Emphasis on 1v1 and 2v1 situations to improve dribbling, decision-making, and passing within the team context.
Use of small-sided games to teach basic attacking and defending principles, including possession, combination play, transition, and finishing.
Players rotate across multiple positions to promote game understanding and avoid early specialization.
Focus on improving speed, coordination, balance, and agility through fun and dynamic activities.
The 9v9 game format supports development in a realistic environment, with emphasis placed on learning and performance over results.
