Surefire Soccer. 2010. - 171 p.Each drill is divided into one of three skill levels rather than a specific age group. These skill levels are Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. It’s our intention that these categories be used by coaches as a general guideline based on the ability of players they have on their team. Of course, we realize there are young players who have advanced ability just as there are older players with beginner skills. It’s up to the coach to make this assessment. We recommend testing a team’s ability at first by underestimating its skill level. If players appear bored with easy drills then simply introduce drills that might prove more challenging to them. The actual age of a player usually has no bearing on the skills he/she may possess. The idea is to keep them challenged, engaged, and having fun.
