Youth Football In Italy
• Piccoli Amici (U-9yrs) play 5-a side Football
• Pulcini (U-11 yrs) play 7-a side Football
• Esordienti (U-13yrs) play 9-a side Football
• Giovanissimi (U-15yrs) play 11-a side Football (30+30 minutes
for match)
• Allievi (U-17yrs) play 11-a side Football (40+40 minutes for match)
-
Giovanissimi and Allievi categories are organized in professional, regional
and provincial division, according with the level of the various teams
• There is also the U-19yrs category in Italy, but these Championships
are directly organised by the League where the various clubs play
their Championship with their own first team:
aa) For the amateur League we have the Juniores Championship
bb) For the clubs that play in the lega pro (3rd professional League)
we have the “Dante Beretti” Championship
cc) For the clubs that play in the lega serie a and in the lega serie
B (Serie A and serie B team) we have the “Primavera-Giacinto
Facchetti” Championship
- In the season 2009-2010, youth players registered for the Italian FA
were 827.869
• More than 50% of these players are Under 13. When a club has in
its own Youth Department at least one team Under 13 is called
also “Football school”
There are 3 kinds of Football Schools, according to some
requirements(qualified coach, facilities, rate between coaches and
players, numbers of years of activity etc.):
a) qualified Football Schools
b) recognized Football Schools
c) basic center of Football learning
37
Elite Youth Football
• In Italy we don’t have an Academy or Training Centre System
like, for example, in England or France
• Every professional club can run its own Youth Department in the
prefered way
• We don’t have also a National Academy for players
• In our vision, in fact, preparing players is the responsibility of the
clubs. Federation’s main tasks are:
a) organizing competitions according to the level of the different
clubs
b) giving an appropriate coach education for the different levels of
players (C Degree, UEFA B, UEFA A)
c) creating a good structure of youth National Teams
Elite Youth Football Competitions
• According to the national regulations, in Italy there are 4
Championships reserved to the professional clubs for their own
Youth Department
• The participation at these Championships is mandatory, so
every professional club in Italy must have a Youth Department
with at least 3 teams (U15, U17, U19) involved in the National
Championships
• However, all the clubs have more than 3 teams and most of them
start their players’ formation at the age of 8 or 9 years old
• Under 15
• Under 17
• Under 19 – Trofeo “Dante Berretti”
• Under 19 – Campionato Primavera

• Pressing exercises
• Shadow attacking movements (6v0, 8v0, 10v0)
• Match simulations
40
• Transitions
• Set plays (with transitions)
• Small sided games with conditions
Video Analysis
• All the games are filmed and analyzed with special computer
programs, to record and store the performance of each team and
of each single player
• In that way, coaches can show to the team good things and mistakes
done by the single player, by a group of players or by the whole team
• We send the file regarding the single player to the club where the
player is registered
• We also Use video analysis to show to our team the opponents that
we are going to face in the next match
• In that way it’s possible to create a huge archive where you can find
a lot of information about our players and the opponent teams
Scouting
• We have a net of scouters that every week watch several matches
of U-15, U-17 and U-19 national Championships
• We have at least two meetings every year with all the scouters, in
order to analyze the average level of the players and make sure
that they are all working in the same direction
• Even the national coaches act like scouts in their age group team
• We Use electronic datas (like caps, positions, goals scored, yellow
and red cards etc.) In order to gather these datas to the ones given
by the scouter. We are going to create a huge video library, with
players and teams of the youth nationals
• We have to improve our control capacity on the young players
with Italian passport that are currently playing abroad

Part 3: Future Prospects
1/ Future prospects
Preamble:
The training work should:
• Have a main thread:
-
Follow high-level development
-
Or, better: anticipate the future
• Hence, it should be progressive, based on:
-
Internal
-
And external findings: (other countries)
Our findings:
Internal:
• Too many players in the centers
• Improve targeting of recruitment criteria
• Give more importance:
-
To the technical potential } methods to be developed
-
To the Understanding of the game forms and types of work
exercises)
-
To the mental state
• Detect as from U13 – U17
External:
• The efforts of all the countries go into the training
• All the young people are physically well-prepared,
The dominant nations have players who are more technical and are
tactically more mature
• What does the future hold?
62
2/ Conclusion
• Training is indispensable at the clubs:
-
To renew the «core» of the team
-
To give the club a style
-
To recruit Usefully (economic aspects)
• It also depends on the federal policy:
-
With the line-ups of young players (addition)
-
For the development of the practice (upstream)
-
For the training and follow-up of specialized instructors.
• It calls for:
-
Requirements
-
Patience
-
Ongoing questioning and research
-
Coordination with the pros coach and thus falling within the scope
of a technical project at the club.

•
U12 to U16 Youth Development phase
•
U17 to U21 professional development phase( includes a return to the
three-year scholarship U17 to U19 )
Multi-disciplinary environment
The coaching programme is recognised as the core activity, supported by
three key functions :
-
The sports science and medical programme
-
The education programme
-
The games programme
-
Performance management tool, an on-line system
-
Performance clock, a personal record for each player
-
Formal reviews, for U9 to U11, every 12 weeks
For U12 and older, every 6 weeks
102
10 Key performance indicators
The performance of each Academy will be evaluated via the in-depth
assessment of 10 kpis:
1. Vision and strategy
2. Leadership and management
3. Coaching
4. Education
5. Games programme
6. Sports science and medical programme
7. Player development and progression ( greatest weighting )
8. Talent identification, recruitment and registrations
9. Facilities
10. Corporate and financial sustainability
New classification system
-
Category 1 U5 to U21
‘Full-time’ for U15 and U16 - 4 hours coaching per day Monday to
Friday

discriminatively expensive
•
Payments based on real development costs with possible ‘sell-ons’ for
U12 and older
•
Achievement based future payments, ‘add-ons’ at times such as
professional contract, number of games in the 1st team, payments for all
further future transfers

-
The 8 player rule is fantastic for locals.
-
How do we win games?
• We need to teach the staff/coaches what winning is all about!
• The coaches can then teach the players.
• This is the way to design a “coaching syllabus”
If the players don’t know how to win, what chance is there of success?
Winning/developing
• By developing skilful and technical players, the chances of
winning increase.
-
How do we accept a result?
-
If we lose – we work hard technically
-
If we win – we work even harder
-
Improvement = practice

Workshop - Day 1
Basic Organizational and Administrative Steps to Establishing a Football Academy
Workshop for National Associations Experts and Dubai Clubs Officials
- Dr. Belhassen Malouche: FIFA Instructor
- Dr. Annathurai Ranganathan: AFC Grassroots and Youth Development Officer
- Mr. Michele Uva: Manager of Development at the Italian Football Association
- Mr. Paolo Piani: Technical Department Official at the Italian Football Association
- Mr. Jean-Pierre Morlans: Technical Director at the Moroccan Football Association
- Mr. Erich Rutmeoller: Technical Expert at the German Football Association
- Mr. Corne Groenendijk: National Coordinator of Development and Research
Programs at the Royal Netherlands Football Association.
120
Question to Mr. Michele Uva and Mr. Erich Rutmeoller: What are the main
elements of the Football Academy?
A. German Expert: There are equipments, coaches, experienced staff, instructors,
budget and accommodation for talent players from ages 13-16. Facilities are
important because they lead to giving due care to toppers in terms of technical,
instructional, nutritional and health follow-up, in addition to the need to pay
attention to the problems that may result from the accommodation of players with
one another in order to avoid them.
Question. Who are the players that we can attract?
A. German Expert: We need scouts rather than bringing players. The question
should be, who is the coach we should enter into contract with?
We should have two concomitant elements; mentality and qualification. It is
Useful in this case to conduct a survey on the behavior of coaches because we are
dealing with children rather than adults. In addition, we need a team of Experts
in sport sciences to help develop such players; this includes sport psychologists
and fitness specialists.
A. FIFA Expert: He summed Up the opinions of the two Experts by focusing on
the general principles governing the establishment of Academies; they include
the need to have a strategy, objectives, means and budget.
He highlighted that the feasibility of creating the Academy is represented in the
programs proposed, including medical, social and psychological care. On the other
hand, there is a need to choose the type of accommodation. Selection should take
into account the social and financial aspects of the club. In other countries, there are
experiences in providing accommodation to players with their families.The number of
residents in the Academy should not exceed 30-40 players of distinguished players.
121
Question to Mr. Jean-Pierre Morlans: What is the importance of follow Up and
academic learning for players in the Academies? Is there any school enclosed
within the Academy or teachers following Up players in their government
educational institutions?
A. The French Expert: There are two models in France; the first model necessitates
drafting an agreement with the educational institutions to follow Up distinguished
players.
The second model is related to the establishment of private schools inside the
Academies and accordingly contracts are made with teachers based on an academic
system approved by the official educational authorities. The two experiences are
acceptable. However, the problem crops Up in specialization after the general
secondary certificate, which concurs with promoting the player to the first team
and the beginning of his professionalism. From this point the difficulty arises
in achieving harmony between study and playing.
Cooperation agreements must be concluded with the Ministry of Education in
order to avoid the problems that may face distinguished players when they fail in
their study. In this case, study may be divided into 3 or 4 years in order to be able
to catch Up with his study and sport.
A. The Qatari Expert: in Aspire Academy, there are around 35 academic and sports
classes so that a good academic system is approved Under the supervision of the
supreme Council of Education which approves certificates obtained by the sportspeople
affiliated to the Academy. There is an intention also to certify such certificates from
foreign Universities (England). Academic follow Up is not restricted in Aspire during
training to the days of training and matches, but they also include camps held abroad
where instructors travel with players, especially during examinations. There are talks
with the University of Qatar in order to determine the mandatory lessons and exams.
A. The AFC Expert: He referred to China’s experience (FCT Academy) which
manages their private school according to the Ministry of Education’s guidelines.
122
There are other experiences in the manner of the enrollment of players in schools
close to their clubs and residence so that they can have their morning and night
exercises easily.
In Malaysia, another experience is applied. It is represented in building sport
schools where players can have their exercises and proceed with their Usual
studies. In a nutshell, the whole matter is based on the fields of cooperation
among different sports and educational institutions.
Question to Mr. Jean-Pierre Morlans: What are the difficulties facing Football
Academies?
A. The French Expert: The most important problems we are facing in Football
Academies is the psychological observation of players as they are away from
their families. Academies have become an attraction to players from near and far
regions, both within the country and abroad.
A. FIFA Expert: Every beginning is difficult, but we should believe in the project
because the Academy is created for talents. The question that should be raised is
that: can the coach create or polish Up talents? Coach can only hone Up talents
and in this case we should only attract talented people. We may mistake a coach,
but we can never mistake a talented player. Therefore, we should work on this
type of people even if we have few numbers.
A. Italian Expert: There are no Academies in Italy. All clubs have their own
extensive training centers including all players. The Association’s role is to
monitor the approved technical programs in such centers. The Italian Association
is trying to support the Centers or “Academies” in order to have more and more
distinguished players. The more we have players, the more talented people we
shall have to choose from.
The Italian Association tries to enhance the culture of professionalism through
improving infrastructure, educational and technical programs. This is a kind of
investment in juniors.
123
A. The German Expert: Are there different solutions in different countries? In
Germany for instance there are morning and afternoon class hours only for sports
training. What we notice today is that class hours in Germany have become long
and this cause many problems. All people are aware of this problem and we must
find the suitable solution.
Question On the means to measure the success and efficiency of the Football
Academy? What are the key performance indicators to measure and monitor a
certain Academy?
A. The Dutch Expert: There are some matters that cannot be measured and we
are following Up their effectiveness. For instance, should we look for tallness +
capability? If we apply this, we will reach adverse results and people may blame
Us. With regard to training centers, the Dutch Association for instance created
a licensing system based on placing 550 points divided on several elements
that should be available in any Academy, such as facilities, lighting, training
classes, certificates and means of scouting. Each element corresponds with a
group of points which finally enable the Academy to receive stars.
A. The Italian Expert: The international coach, Arrigo Sacchi, set an example
in finding players and enrolling them through video + communication with
clubs and National Teams while observing them. Accordingly, the new system
for instance was able to change the data of players who are Under 15 years of
age on a weekly basis.
A. The French Expert: it is necessary to stress on the importance of holding
periodical meetings between the director of the Academy with coaches, managers
and executives in order to evaluate and try to enhance the players capacity. On
the other hand, it is important to conduct measurements and tests to Use them
in developing players.
124
Question: what are the regulations governing the Academy? Shall they be issued
by the government or the Football Association?
A. The French, German and Italian Experts: The government does not interfere
and the matter is left to the Football Associations in such countries in their
relationships with the sports clubs.
A.FIFA Expert: in the cases where clubs cannot establish Academies, Associations
shall Undertake this mission.

Workshop - Day 2
Basic Steps to Establish Football Academy in Technical and logistic Aspects
Workshop for Football Academies’ Experts and officials of Dubai Clubs
•
Mr. Albert Benaiges: Technical Director of Al Wasl Football Academy (UAE)
•
Mr. Talal Abdel Fattah Rajab: Secretary General of the Board of Trustees of
Al Ahly Saudi Soccer Academy (KSA).
•
Mr. Fahad Abdullah Thani Al Zeraa: Technical Expert in Aspire Academy (QA).
•
Mr. Alex Gibson: Technical Director of Al Ahly Football Academy (UAE).
•
Mr. John Owens: Director of Liverpool Football Academy (ENG).
Mr. Fahad Abdullah Thani al Zeraa screened a footage related to the scientific
follow Up to sportspeople at Aspire Academy, as a complement to the presentation
made in the morning session as follows:
Aspire aims to embrace talented sports people.
Aspire selects players, develops youth and help them according to the Academy’s
126
program. It also expands the admission base in collaboration with the Qatari
Association.
In Aspire, we continued to turn out talented players, while taking the opinions of
Experts and coaches into account.
Question to Mr. Fahad Al zeraa: There is no proportion here; the numbers of
players are more than the existing facilities. Can you explain this?
A. The Qatari Expert: Good distribution of existing playgrounds enables us to
benefit from them. As for numbers, we have a plan to retain talented people as we
care for the quality and talent rather than numbers.
Question to Mr. Talal Rajab: Do you have a policy of expansion?
A. The Saudi Expert: As for expansion, there are scouts in several parts of the Kingdom
in addition to the festivals staged in residential districts.
Question to Mr. Talal Rajab: Why training is not made in Academies instead of
camps abroad?
A. The Saudi Expert: Camps abroad are part of the development stages. We
try to acclimatize juniors to the camps held abroad and how to get used to
Professional Football playing and get into contact with others and benefit from
their experiences.
Question to Mr. Albert Benaiges: Will playing be gradual according to age Until
the player is promoted to the first team at Al Wasl Academy the same way made
by Barcelona?
A. Spanish Expert: Training juniors begins from 6 to 18. In Barcelona, there is a
specific system where a Unified law is observed in training and player transfer
from the age stages to the first team.
127
Question to Mr. Talal: The Technical Director and director of the Academy are
in the same level in the organizational structure, who is the person in charge of
contacting the executive office and who is in charge of managing the Academy?
A. The Saudi Expert: The Technical Director and the Director of the Academy
send reports to the Head of the Executive Office. The actual President of the
Academy is the Head of the executive office.
Question to Mr. Talal: Are you in the opinion of what is said by Mr. Belhassen
Malouch with regard to the new way in selecting talents so that tallness will not
be the basis in choice?
A. The Saudi Expert: Yes. I adopt the same view.
128
Recommendations:
1. Adhere to the implementation of AFC’s standards with regard to the
development of youth and benefit from the FIFA’s initiatives and programs
to reach a local model for Football Academies that includes clear vision and
Strategic Plan.
2. Coordination with the concerned parties to develop the Academies, local
model especially the Football Federation and the Ministry of Education to
coordinate efforts and roles.
3. Development of Academies work in Football Companies in technical ,
financial and administrative aspects according to a specified timeline and the
AFC’s standards.
4. Internal coordination in clubs to ensure ideal implementation of Academies
work.
5. Support the player at all ages and provide an attractive environment to reach
