WYSC Methodology
Under 16
Program for season
Tactical training and small-sided games are an essential part of the training at this stage. Attacking and defending principles must be part of all games. Important aspects of the tactical training are speed of play, quick transition, counter attacking and finishing in the final third, as well as pressing.
Technique will focus on speed and accuracy. Passing and finishing are two of the main techniques emphasized at this stage. Part of the technical training will be position-specific (e.g. defender: passing, center midfield players: receiving to turn and strikers: finishing).
The physical aspect of the game is key at this stage: endurance, strength and speed will be part of the weekly training routine.
Players should be expected to show commitment to the team, concentration in training sessions and competitiveness during the game.
Here is the organization for the season based on three 10-weeks. This 10-week period will be similar in structure in all three stages of the season. Each category will have different methodology of teaching: Individual and Group.
