Ages 10–11 — High Level Performance
Raise the standard.
Positioning, combination play, pressing, transition—plus speed and strength work appropriate for age. This is where coachability and ambition start to separate players.
The Make-or-Break Years.
Our Goal & Method
Ages 10-11 decide competitive futures. Rep teams, travel teams, high school rosters—they all look at what players can do NOW, not what they might do later. Players with tactical understanding and composure get picked. Players who 'just have heart' sit on benches. This is where coachability and ambition separate starters from subs. Miss this window, and ages 12-14 become painful—watching kids you used to beat get opportunities you wanted.
Training Focus
Why This Age Is Critical
Club tryouts at 11-12 test tactical knowledge, not just athleticism—coached players win spots
High school coaches recruit from U11-U13 programs—visibility matters now, not later
Physical development accelerates—kids who train properly now dominate kids who don't by age 13
This is the last age where catching up is possible—after 12, the gap becomes permanent
What They Get
What they get
Tactical roles, decision speed, and composure under pressure—not just 'run faster'
Position-specific coaching and finishing patterns (defenders defend differently than forwards attack)
CYD in-house league (2 months, Ages 6+): weekly fixtures with targeted notes—real games, real feedback
Age-appropriate strength and conditioning that builds athletes, not just soccer players
