Cultivate Growth
During this period of adolescent growth, players struggle to maintain the same level of performance they have worked so hard to establish. This is the most important and critical developmental age for players given all of the tremendous possible variables (less coordination, more susceptible to injury, quitting the sport, premenstrual issues, and heightened emotional awareness).
As we move up the age ladder from the U13 level to the U15, players often find the transition to a bigger field difficult; As such, the proper matching of competition is very important. To support success, we continue to focus on technique during our practices, as we did at the younger ages. Creating environments in which players get maximum repetitions of technical skills is the key.
For these players, training technique involves learning and perfecting intermediate to advanced skills at their speed, while establishing consistency of execution with decision making. We provide high amounts of repetition with steady increase of resistance (based on individual player performance). Though younger players may need to train primarily with no pressure or resistance, this group of players will spend much of their time training techniques under pressure within the game environment. We are consistent in our coaching and we make sure that we follow a progressive trend of development for players at this stage.
Our key partnership with sports physiotherapists, psychologists, and dieticians will ensure that players’ physical, mental, and emotional health (holistic) is monitored to assure continuous growth on and off the pitch.
