Space Coast United Soccer Club
 

Junior Division

The Junior Division is our competitive program for all players born in the years 2007 (11U) – 2004 (14U). 

The Junior Division is an extremely important part of a player’s playing and physical development as it makes the transition from the small-sided game format (7v7 & 9v9) all the way through to the full-sided game at 13U. 

Because of the differences in physical maturity at these age groups it is vital that the focus is aimed at a player’s decision-making ability and their technical execution rather than the physical. 

This development stage sees the training change from a more individual focus to more of a team dynamic as more tactical elements are introduced. 


PERIODIZATION


The Junior Division at Space Coast SC follows a soccer specific periodization model in order to best ensure a player maximizes their development.  This detailed training model is very carefully planned out for the entire year and is designed to ensure each player performs at their absolute maximum all the time and allows the club the opportunity to compete with every club in the state.
