  7. Characteristics of U12 Children Physical Development Mental Development Social Development

  8. Physical Development • The average age for the beginning of pubescence in girls is 10 years with a range from 7-14; for boys, age 12 with a range from 9-16. • Dynamic and rhythmic warm-up and cool-down exercises are key the to prevention of injury. • Overuse injuries, burnout, and high attrition rates are associated with high-intensity children’s programs that fail to stress skill development and learning enjoyment. • Begin to develop abilities to sustain complex coordinated skill sequences.

  9. Mental Development • Begins to think in abstract terms and can address tactical situations. • A systematic approach to problem solving appears at this stage; the game of soccer must present the ability to think creatively and solve problems while moving.

  10. Social Development • More TV, less unstructured play. • Beginning to spend more time with friends and less time with parents. • Popularity influences self-esteem. • Whether a child enters puberty early or late has important social and emotional implications. • Learning appropriate sex role. • Most children seek peers that are most like them in age, race, sex, and socioeconomic status. • Opportunity to introduce the value of cultural diversity. • Developing a conscience, morality, and a scale of values.

  11. General Characteristics of U11/12 Children • Lengthened attention span. • Team oriented. • Still in motion, but not as busy . . . Will hold still long enough for a short explanation. • Psychologically becoming more firm and confident. • Boys and girls beginning to develop separately. • Gross and small motor skills becoming much more refined. • Prefer team type balls and equipment. • PACE FACTOR BECOMING DEVELOPED - DO THINK AHEAD. Some are becoming serious about their play. • Enjoy the uniforms, team association. • Are now more inclined toward wanting to play rather than being told to play.

  12. Coaching Methods • Coach = Facilitator • Makes the training player-centered • Asks guiding questions • Creates problem solving opportunities • Positively reinforces players • Simple to complex activities • Time • Space • Players • How to Coach… • Coaching at a stoppage • Coaching during flow of play • Guided Questioning… • “How could you…” • “Is there another way to…” • “What happens if you…”
