Summary
At U9/10 it is vital that we are successful playing
a certain way and that we don’t succumb to result
searching. Our formation restricts us from being
direct and forces us to play through the team
It is vital that when we are the dominant team
that we have conditions in our game to develop,
rather than get more goals. These conditions
never tell players not to score but require
individuals to think more and the team to work
harder instead of relying on physical or technical
strength. This gets us ready for the next level
At U9 we are usually not so competitive as our
players are intimidated by coaches who yell. Our
coaches will not yell and at the expense of a goal
or a win and will encourage our players to make
mistakes and train them to take risks. This will
both increase individual player development, the
teams ability to create chances and reduce
chances for the opponents and down the road will
make us stronger

Results
At U12 we should have 2-3 teams that
understand the clubs way of playing and 1-2
teams that are a the starting point. We should be
striving to play our way out of trouble and create
scoring chances rather than panic under pressure
and play kick and chase
In being the dominant team at U12 as we need to
prepare for U13 and 11v11 we should look to out
play rather than outrun or out muscle our
opponents and achieve the following
1. High amount of possession of the ball
2. Multiple ways to attack
U13 is the hardest age of competitive soccer in
that some clubs have self selected and recruited
to play at this level in preparation for Premier.
CC United through our playing habits look to be
strong enough to compete but are looking at the
U14 and 15 to dominate this age group
We are striving and getting closer to Premier
each year with community kids
Age Group
At U14 Premier kicks in and the leagues become
their true balance. This is where CC United
shows our age groups achievements in how
close we are to competitiveness at all the classic
levels.
• Build for Premier
At this age using the framework of the last few
• Evaluating where
we are?
• Look to maintain
all levels of play
