U5–U11 Teams
We group children by age category, with training programs adapted to each stage of physical and technical development.
Moving from one group to the next isn't automatic based on calendar age, it depends on each child's technical level and comfort. We'd rather a child feel confident in their current group than be rushed into a more advanced one.
U5
Playful first steps on the pitch: movement, balance and getting comfortable with a ball, through games rather than drills.
U6
First contact with the ball: coordination, balance and organized play.
U7
Individual technical basics: dribbling, passing and ball control.
U8
Small-sided games, first basic tactical concepts.
U9
Continued technical development, first competitive matches.
U10
Transition to organized full-pitch football and team tactics.
U11
Full team tactics and positional discipline, preparing for the step up to competitive 11-a-side football.
