U13, U14, U15 and U16 Soccer Drills

When coaching Under 13, Under 14, Under 15, Under 16, and High School level players, expect them to be able to perform a range of skills. Popularity and self-esteem coupled with early or late stages of puberty sometimes produce an "all-knowing" attitude. Because of these self-critical thoughts and physical changes, it's often on the coach to challenge, motivate, and involve players.

Training sessions should be between one and a half hour and two hours. Warm-up is critical at this age as muscle, ligament, and skeletal changes are occurring.

Work in these small-sided groups and keep the training sessions competitive, challenging, and everyone involved.
