U14's are continuing their step up to 11-a-side matches. This age section is expected to maintain their knowledge of the game so far, whilst building on their knowledge as well as their technical, tactical and fitness abilities.
With more competitive match experience than other age sections, U14's are aiming to maximise their own potential and work towards enabling themselves to become a complete athlete.
In order for players to further advance their development, players are expected to maintain high standards of attitude/mentality and performance. This indicates maturity, passion and a determination to succeed and grow as a player and a person.
At UFSA, we train once a week whilst also arranging fixtures for the U14's against professional academies and RTC's to create a challenging environment to aid each member's development.
Girls
Our academy girls form a large talented group which trains alongside the current U15's academy girls. These girls are part of our advanced class with all the girls playing at the highest standard for either grassroots, county and ETC/RTC's. Training sessions, delivered by our UEFA qualified coaches, are always challenging and insightful to give the girls as much knowledge and practise to ensure they are able to take their game to the highest level they can.
