Training very young, students and yuniores

VERY YOUNG

In this category, training to consolidate acquired skills are organized. The boy must be able to make mistakes to be able to correct his choices.
Department and team tactics must be set up, expanding and consolidating individual technical-tactical knowledge.

From a physical point of view, general training should be sought, with and without the ball, aimed at improving conditional skills (giving priority to the use of aerobic sources and the development of strength, in particular fast strength and power). We must not make the mistake of working only on certain areas of the body, but it is necessary to seek a general and harmonious improvement of the organism.
In this phase of human growth the boy is characterized by humoral inconstancy, reduced motor coordination and somatic disharmony. The basic body scheme must be reworked and the exercises must be treated in detail: we must devote more time to technical-tactical gestures and specific physical skills. We start with exercises based on game situations, seeking precision and technical originality. In this sense we try to make all situations of a technical-tactical nature more effective.

STUDENTS

It is the period in which perfection is sought in the acquired technical gestures and the knowledge of the tactical sense in function of the collective game. From this point of view the motor learning ability is favorable, therefore exercises with increasing difficulty can be carried out.
The technical training will have to focus above all on technical exercises applied to the game, rather than on the systematic repetition of the individual technical fundamentals. Therefore, the various game combinations will have to be sought with greater insistence.

Only through real situations and the game, the technique can be acquired concretely, otherwise we risk forming great players from the point of view of dribbling, standing skills or without opponents, etc., without taking into account the most technical-tactical situations of the game. elementary.
The proposed exercises will have to invite the students to their own resolution and the figure of the coach will have to be above all a guide and technical correction.
The physical development of this age will have to turn above all to the increase of the existing pre-requisites without, however, exaggerating with the maximal exercises.

"JIUNIORES" or "BERETTI"

During this phase of football learning, the exercises of football technique in its most applicative forms must be privileged, also through the rhythms of the competition.
Priority must be given to the phases of possession and non-possession of the ball, departmental and team tactics.
From the physical point of view, there is an ever greater specialization, through the qualitative and quantitative increase of the physical conditioning exercises typical of the game of football.
