At this age, we continue to train basic techniques, but we increasingly focus on competition.
This includes field positions, corners, high balls, and player coaching.
Be sure to create a monthly schedule outlining the activities you want to cover each week, and put the training plan on paper.
Going out on the field unprepared is not wise; it leads to poor preparation.
Training sessions should be fun and educational, not repetitive.
Prioritize quality over quantity.
While it's great to occasionally fly from corner to corner and that is OK, but this shouldn't be the norm.
During this age, players experience many changes, such as the onset of puberty and transitions to new schools, so patience is also crucial.
