These skill development objectives describe the football skills, movements and decisions that we would like our players to be able to perform at the conclusion of the different age group bands.
All players develop at different rates so these objectives should just be viewed as a rough timeline for the football development journey and not as something that must be rigidly adhered to.
Session plans to help prepare effective training sessions and also other useful resources are being developed and will be added to each of the groups of objectives before the start of the 2019 season.
There’ll also be lots of support available from our Coach Development Team, coaching workshops and our Development Academy.
