[quote=Anonymous]Quality over quantity. A u9-u12 will get a lot more out of 2 or 3 hour long high quality small sided scrimmages with minimal freeze time than 9 hours of variable quality training. No 9-12 year old is capable of giving 9-12 hours of their best per week, that’s why technical and social aspects of the development models are emphasized at their age, and mental / physical are emphasized later. If you can get 3-4 hours of super high quality out of your kid per week, and plenty of rest, they’ll surpass all their teammates in under 3 months. It really doesn’t take much. A great example of this can be seen on ECNL teams when kids are out on the bubble, those that shape up and close the deficiency do it pretty easily with just a little bit of extra work.[/quote]
