U11 FIF ACADEMY
Elite football program for u11

In the U11 age group our main focus is developing the individuals 'love for the game' We aim to create a fun environment where each player is free from pressure and willing to try something new. Each session will progress the individuals fundamental movement skills as well as their familiarisation with the ball. The players will have the chance to work with the ball at their feet and get 100s of touches in the time they are with us. Young players associate how well they are doing with the amount of touches they have on the ball.

Training will consist of the weekly theme and encourage all aspects of the game from stopping, creating and scoring goals. We vary the game formats to bring out the desired weekly theme and challenge the players.

We see the games program at U10 as an extension of training and want the players express themselves without the fear of failure. For us the 7v7 game will develop the players ability to share locally and build upon the dribbling and shooting elements from the previous age group. We also look to develop the tactical side towards the end of the U10 season in preparation for the step up into the 9v9 game format. 

​

The U10 side will compete in the Junior Premier League and occasional games against professional clubs.

The team this season has played against Colchester, Cambridge, Leyton Orient and Southend United
