U9 – U10 Philosophy The focus at these critical ages is to enhance and encourage individual skill development while establishing a passion for the game. Players should be focused on spending as much time as possible on the ball to establish a high comfort level at the expense of results. Learning proper technique now will build the foundation they will need to effectively execute high-level tactical play in the future. © 2009 Columbus Crew
U9 – U10 Emphasis Establishing proper technique on the ball (dribbling, turns, moves, passing, and receiving) through repetition and progression in an enjoyable setting is critical. Fun, free flowing small sided situations (1v1 to 4v4) with plenty of time and space - to learn skills, combinations, and awareness of teammates and opponents – is also a priority. © 2009 Columbus Crew
U9 – U10 Systems of Play Note: While the focus for small sided games is on individual technique and comfort on the ball, there is a need to implement a system and keep the players organized. Recognizing positions and understanding transition are ideas that should be introduced. The recommended systems of play for 6 v 6 are as follows: 2-2-1 Most simple and widely used. 2-3 Lends to more creativity. 2-1-2 Allows more flexibility with player selection. 1-3-1 Requires a higher comprehension of transition. © 2009 Columbus Crew

U11 – U12 Philosophy As players go from 6 to 8 a side, they are asked to process the game with more players on the field and begin to discover solutions to the problems that they will encounter. Solutions should be based around creativity, comfort on the ball, and playing out of danger. Players should continue to explore multiple positions on the field and gain an appreciation and understanding for each role. Creative solutions to the challenges that the game presents will breed confidence and ultimately lead to more enjoyment for players. © 2009 Columbus Crew
U11 – U12 Emphasis The emphasis of 8 v 8 soccer is still on individual player development while the concept of keeping all players on the field involved and connected is introduced. Small sided 4 v 4 to 6 v 6 exercises, along with numbers up/down situations, are now introduced with an increased awareness of the concepts of transition. All players should recognize both opportunities to attack (develop and identify goal scorers) and the responsibility of everyone to defend. Roles and responsibilities become more established for positional play within a system. Team shape on both sides of the ball can now be introduced as well as certain requirements within the system of play. The concept of zonal defending should also be introduced. © 2009 Columbus Crew
U11 - 12 Systems of Play
Note: While the focus remains on individual technique,
positional awareness and general team shape should now be
emphasized. The recommended systems of play for 8 v 8 are as
follows:
3-3-1 Most common system and the easiest to implement
at this early stage.
3-2-2 Simple system that allows more players to get
involved in the attack and leads to more creativity.
2-3-2 Most difficult system to implement as players must
be able to read the game very well for this system
to work.

© 2009 Columbus CrewU13 - 14 Philosophy As teams progress to 11 v 11, tactics and the physical side of the game take on more importance. Many of the early themes remain in place on the technical side as players are asked to digest more ideas and responsibilities tactically. By concentrating on smaller numbers to highlight tactics (2 v1, 2v2 , 3v2), the progression will culminate in an understanding of all 11 positions, their roles within a game, and how they impact results. © 2009 Columbus Crew
U13 – U14 Emphasis The importance of winning begins to become a focus; however, it should not replace development. The physical demands of the game start to play more of a role in our training regiment as a base level of fitness through speed, balance, and agility is expected. An increased level of technical sophistication while beginning to challenge the players on smaller group tactics will be the priority of this level. © 2009 Columbus Crew
U13 - 14 Systems of Play
Note: This will be the first level of 11 v 11, therefore players
should have an understanding of all field positions and the roles
they play. The recommended systems of play for 11 v 11 are as
follows:
4-4-2 Most traditional system and widely used. Roles are
easily defined and recognizable.
4-3-3 Frequently used, gives defensive security while
allowing attacking freedom.
3-5-2 Less common in today’s game, gives extra player in
midfield for creativity and possession but leaves more
vulnerability with only 3 defenders.
3-4-3 Most difficult to teach, “Dutch System”, but
distributes players evenly throughout the field.

Though the development of the player to reach a higher level is always paramount, results become more of a priority. Teams believe in playing an attractive, attacking brand of soccer that is balanced by highly organized, disciplined, and fit teams. At this stage an increased level of commitment must exist in order to meet team expectations and standards set by the club. © 2009 Columbus Crew
U15 - 16 Emphasis Building a competitive culture with high expectations and standards where players, coaches, and teams are committed to the same goals. The concentration on the physical requirements of the game increases in importance and sophistication. A winning mentality and culture become apparent and prominent throughout the club. © 2009 Columbus Crew
U15 - 16 Systems of Play
Note: players should be competent in various roles, but the
player’s best one or two positions should be evident. Team
shape and organization should be recognizable. The
recommended systems of play for 11 v 11 are as follows:
4-4-2 Most traditional system and widely used. Roles are
easily defined and recognizable.
4-3-3 Frequently used, gives defensive security while allowing
attacking freedom.
3-5-2 Less common in today’s game, gives extra player in
midfield for creativity and possession but leaves more
vulnerability with only 3 defenders.

© 2009 Columbus CrewU17 – U19 Philosophy The U17-U19 age group is considered the competition stage. Held to the highest standards on and off the field, players and teams are expected to compete at their highest level on a daily basis. On the field, players are expected to be technically sound and tactically proficient, thereby allowing position specific training in various systems of play. Off of the field, a professional attitude is mandatory as these players must set a proper example and value the opportunity and platform that the club provides. © 2009 Columbus Crew
U17 – U19 Emphasis Significant time should be spent on technical proficiency and tactical awareness. These concepts should be included while focusing on speed of play dictated by field size, touch limitations, neutral players, and time restraints. Situational training should be used to prepare players to protect a lead, score goals, counter attack, transition and defend. A high level of fitness should be an expectation both during training and outside of formal training. All of this should be focused on while expecting the players to be responsible and accountable on and off of the field for their actions and performance. © 2009 Columbus Crew
U17 – U19 Systems of Play
Note: players should have a working knowledge of all systems
and how the individual positions affect team shape. System
selection should be based on player personal not vice versa.
4-4-2 Most traditional system and widely used. Roles are
easily defined and recognizable.
4-3-3 Frequently used, gives defensive security while
allowing attacking freedom.
3-5-2 Less frequent in today’s game, gives extra player
in midfield for creativity and possession but leaves
more vulnerability with only 3 defenders.
3-4-3 Most difficult to teach, “Dutch System”, but
distributes players evenly throughout the field.
