Stage 4 Training to TrainU11 to U15 Female/ U12
to U16 MaleIdentifying the Elite Player

• At this stage, elite soccer groups express
  interest in recruiting talented youth players.
  Care must be take to recognize and protect the
  long-term interests of each player. Risks and
  issues can be avoided by ensuring that
  development remains player centered
• Game Structure- Ranges from 8v8 to 11v11. (Game
  transitions to 11v11 at U13 age.
• Recommended Training Times- 60 to 75 minutes.
• Season Length- As players progress through this
  stage, they move towards year around play that
  included appropriate rest and recovery periods.
• Recommendations- Appropriate ratio of training,
  competition and rest throughout the year
  periodized planning critical. Training to
  competition ratio should be between 5 to 12 for
  every game.

The Staircase Approach
CSA U20 TEAM PROFESSIONAL PLAYER (WFC)
A ESSENTIAL STEP!
32
Commitment to appropriate periodization of player
development programming Contrary to what seems
to be popular belief, periodization is not a
mythical or secretive method in the strength and
conditioning realm. Periodization is, in simple
terms, a plan. This process of planning is
researched and scientific by its nature.
33
Commitment to appropriate periodization of player
development programming The ultimate goal is to
achieve higher levels of performance through a
properly mapped-out progression. An organized
training, evaluation and competition program
eliminates the random approach and services the
PLAYER.
