The last team in the youth sector is the "spring" category, where the age limit is twenty ", but a player from the first team (out of quota) can also participate, who must recover from injuries and regain the pace of the race.
The spring category is played by young people who are now mature for the first team and with a professional perspective; the teams that take part in this championship are clubs that play with each other through a national championship, with the prospect of developing some good elements.
The training sessions can be combined with those of the first team: often, in turn, the spring players attend the training sessions of their older colleagues.
ANNUAL TRAINING PROGRAM FROM 10 TO 12 YEARS
To structure an adequate training program for 10/12 year olds, we must take into consideration that there are a series of parameters, such as technical-tactical and coordinative skills, from which we absolutely cannot infer.

PERFORMANCE MODEL
Today, thanks to the new existing technologies, it is possible to define exactly the performance model of a player.
For example, if we take running as a reference model, the parameters will be represented by the quality and quantity of running that the player is able to complete throughout the game. In this regard, it is necessary to take into account the different characteristics of the game. player, the role he plays and the movements he makes throughout the game; these movements can be indicated as follows:
- stopover
- walking (4 km / h)
- jogging (8 km / h)
- running at low speed (12km / h)
- running at moderate speed (16 km / h)
- high speed racing (21km / h)
- Sprint (30 km / h)
- backward run
The different speeds above have been detected on several occasions (various games) and mediated between various players.
Goalkeepers are considered separately, being a distinctly different role due to the peculiarity of the performance.
From the "percentage analysis of the run in the game, the following conclusions were reached:
- for 17% of the total playing time the players stay still;
- 40% walk;
- 35% run at low speed;
- for 8% they run at high speed;
- 0.6% sprint.
From these initial analyzes it is clear that a footballer runs on average 10.8 km, with differences ranging from 9 to 14 km.
Defenders and forwards run roughly the same amount of running miles, with greater speed and more sprints than midfielders.
The attackers are those who make the most head shots; the defenders instead make more tackles.
An average of 30 passes and 15 interceptions are made for each player.
Other
Elite players:
- they stand or walk for more than half of the meeting
- they run more during the first half than in the second half, but the distance traveled at high speed remains unchanged on average
- perform more racing at high speed than lower level players.
But how do we prepare our players in the light of the data described above?
When we talk about football training, we can't help but mention some authoritative authors:
- Cramer, 1987: "The best teacher for" training is the competition ".
- Northpoth, 1988: "if the competition is the best training it is also true that a good training must necessarily have the character of a competition".
If we observe a player throughout the game, we notice that he performs various types of running: in line, with curves, with changes of direction, etc. "emphasis on these characteristics, that is: running in line, with changes of direction, changes of direction and quant" other.
The traditional concept of football training must also be extended to all those factors that influence the player's performance and which at the same time increase the development of performance in the context of the team:
- Technique (coordination skills and kinetic skills)
- Condition (strength, speed, endurance and flexibility)
- Psychic abilities
- Health, constitutional and predisposition factors
- Tactical-cognitive skills
- Social skills
A "pure" generic type of training should only be applied in conjunction with regenerative, supplementary, compensatory workouts, etc ...
As with young players, adults also have to train that are not too biased in any direction. This consideration is often valid for strength training, where the strengthening of certain districts and the increase of certain parameters are frequently favored, neglecting the harmonious development of the organism and the need to successfully apply conditional improvements to practice. of the game.
SPEED OF THE PLAYER
Perceptual speed
Ability to understand and intervene quickly during a given game situation.
Speed of anticipation
Ability to intuit in a very short time the development of the game and above all the behavior of the opponent.
Decision speed
Ability to quickly decide which of the various actions is best to choose for the purpose of a correct continuation of the game.
Speed of reaction
Knowing how to react quickly in relation to unpredictable game situations.
Cyclic and acyclic motor speed
Ability to perform cyclic and acyclic movements, without and with the ball, at high speed.
Speed of action
Ability to perform specific actions quickly.
Intervention speed
It is the ability to intervene in the shortest possible time and with maximum efficiency, relying on all the qualities: cognitive, technical-tactical, physical, etc.
Flexibility
For a player, flexibility is of the utmost importance, especially in order to prevent injuries that happen during the match. Hence the importance of correct athletic training, especially at a high level.
