12 WEEK SEASON PROGRAM FOR AGES 15 TO 16

COACHING PLAYERS 15 TO 16 YEARS

This section provides you with a twelve-week training program for children ages 15 through 16 years. Each practice features four fun and progressive drills and culminates with a small-sided game. This is the sixth stage of the training program. Emphasis is placed on the continued development of fundamental skills and careful consideration has been given to prioritize the most relevant techniques to master at this age level. Passing and ball control are the main theme of the training program with additional practices for shooting, dribbling and heading. There is a greater emphasis on the introduction of Aerial Passing and Control, Small group concepts and Pressurized games and drills.

The program is age appropriate and sets a solid foundation for players to advance to the next level. The program is meant as a guideline and coaches are encouraged to incorporate a minimal understanding of team tactics and laws of the game.
