11 - 14 years

Program overview

The basic goal at this level is to encourage participation in variety of exercises where you can create a positive transfer of motor habitâs and progressively increase the extensity and intensity of training.

We continue process improvement and automation of previously learned technical and tactical elements of the more complex exercise and we emphasize sports ethics and fair play during training and competition (games).

Young players in this age group (11-12 years), reach the time when there are optimal conditions for the development of maximum speed, acceleration, explosive strength and coordination skills. During this phase, they are also introduced to lighter forms of anaerobic training.
