12 Week Syllabus
12 – 16 Year Old Players
The Football Coaches Library This is a 12 week syllabus for 12 to 16 year old players from grassroots standard to elite levels. Each session can be adapted slightly to be appropriate for the quality/age of the players.
All sessions are based around a 4-4-2 formation. Change
sessions if you use a different formation.
As the players are 12+, focus should be on the opposed part
of the practice. Technical work can be involved briefly during the first part of the session and the warm up.
The importance of nutrition, fitness and injury prevention
(warming up/cooling down) will increase as the players get older. Please check out articles on The Football Coaches Library’s website for more details.
