This U11-U12 Curriculum is the third in a series of publications covering a step-by-step, systematic process for developing youth soccer players from six years old (U7 age group) up through the end of high school (U19), which marks the conclusion of a player’s youth soccer career.
This manual is for coaches, trainers, administrators, soccer club staff, and parents interested in learning more about developing youth soccer players. The 9v9 curriculum can be scaled upwards or downwards to meet the needs of any youth player. The training program can be adapted to many different settings including team practices, academy development programs, skills clinics, soccer camps, or many other possibilities.
The end point for this manual is when a player is ready to begin the transition to the 11v11 game on the full-sized field (this will be covered in the next publication, the U13-U14 manual).
