Separation by age

Age conditions the way a person perceives and interacts with the world and with others. In any learning process, age is the key component in selecting appropriate content and methodology. Soccer is no different. For this reason 6 year old players are not trained in the same way as 13 years old players. Training sessions will be adapted to the age of the players. Taking into consideration the characteristics of human and player development, we have structured the curriculum into four age groups.

The first two age groups are:

1. Initial stage-3-5 years old

At this age our training goal is to help children building exercise habit. Children learn rules through the practice. Regular practice can strengthen children’s muscle and promote health condition.

Initial stage – 6 to 8 years old

2.Basic stage – 9 to 12 years old

3.Intermediate stage – 13 and 14 years old
