At UFSA, the U16's are one of the most talented groups we have due to a number of players in emerging talents squads. At this age, we expect maturity of the players to enhance their opportunity at playing at the highest level and prepare them for open age football. In order to succeed, they need to produce high standards in attitude and performance in training and always accept the challenge. The U16's train once a week and play in games programme against challenging professional academy sides and ETC/RTC's.
Girls
Our U16's are very talented squad with players from professional teams and ETC/RTC's. They train alongside the U15's and are coached by UEFA qualified coaches. Training is at very high standard to develop the players performance on the pitch and to help them succeed in their playing career. The players are challenged to their limit physically and technically. Our aim is to prepare them for open age football as this is the last age group before the girls compete in open age.
