Following the foundation built in our U7-U10 program, the U11-U12 stage is trial-based, designed to elevate players to the next level by focusing on enhanced tactical awareness, positional intelligence, and technical refinement. At this stage, players transition from fundamental skill-building to a more competitive and structured training environment that prepares them for higher levels of football.

U11-U12 Junior Academy

Elevating Players to the Next Level

Next Level Coaching Structure

At this stage, players build on the foundations from the Pre-Academy (U7-U10) while transitioning into a more structured and competitive environment. The focus shifts towards technical refinement, decision-making, and tactical awareness, ensuring players develop a deeper understanding of the game while maintaining creativity and confidence.

Coaching Principles

✅ Increased Tactical Awareness – Introduce structured positional play.
✅ Sharper Technical Execution – Encourage precision and speed under pressure.
✅ Decision-Making Focus – Develop quick thinking in game situations.
✅ Game-Like Environments – Use small-sided games to reinforce learning.
✅ Confidence & Creativity – Players should still feel encouraged to express themselves.

This structure ensures that players smoothly progress from fundamental skill-building to game understanding, preparing them for the next stage of their development.
