SSD Development Basics


FUN
generates enthusiasm

ENTHUSIASM generates practice

PRACTICE makes a good player

SSD - Learning Curve
Young kids learn a lot more by actually playing the game under controlled circumstances and guidance (plus focus on the key basic individual skills) rather than intensive repetitive training drills. That comes later during the early youth stage (age 12 plus) after they have mastered the basics.

Natural ability and development rate dictates individual training needs - don't treat all kids the same with standard routines.

SSD - Cultural Adaption
What works in other countries, doesn't always work in the UK. There are
many cultural differences and we therefore have to re-adapt our development programmes accordingly

In the early days of Soccer Kids (1996).
Two of these young 6 year olds later went on to join Everton and Leeds United.
