As the adult game has increased in popularity, youth soccer has
also seen significant expansion in recent years. The popularity of
the youth game is set to continue. Young boy and girl players wish
to emulate professional soccer stars and the professional game,
often with long-term financial rewards in mind, is increasingly
keen to develop young talent. Applied sports science is now a
well-established feature of the adult game but the sports science
that supports modern football does not translate directly into the
youth game. The coaches of young players need specific information
about children. Themes explored in this text include: growth of
physiological systems development of motor and perceptive skills
paediatric environmental physiology prevention of injury diet and
nutrition youth fitness and skills training effective teaching and
coaching of juniors the role of football academies. Youth Soccer:
From Science to Performance blends current child-focused sports
science theory with youth-specific coaching practice to help create
soccer development strategies for children. It promotes knowledge
and understanding in all these areas and will further professional
expertise amongst coaches who wish to develop the all year round
potential of youth soccer players and train the stars of the
future.
