South Hobart FC Youth academy
FOR PLAYERS AGED 13 TO 18
Youth Academy training restarts on Monday, 8 January 2024.
If you want to improve your skills and emulate your football heroes then Youth Academy is for you! There is no substitute for hard work. The more time you spend on the ball the better your touch will be and you will become a better player. Our Academy pathway facilitates this and more!
The South Hobart Football Club Youth Academy aims to bridge the gap between Junior Academy and Senior Football for both female and male players. This program gives young players with good ability the opportunity to train with greater intensity and play with good technical ability to a much higher level. The Academy training is ideally suited to players turning 13 and assists with the transition to youth football.
The Youth Academy is an extended training program with coaching services provided by Morton’s Soccer School – in addition to attending club training at South Hobart Football Club. You do not need to have participated in the Junior Academy to join Youth Academy.
To attend Youth Academy during the football season you must play for and train with South Hobart Football Club. Players from other clubs are welcome to attend pre and post season.
THE FOUR TRAINING COMPONENTS
Technical - control, passing, dribbling, turning, shooting, running with the ball
Physical - speed, stamina, suppleness, strength and power
Psychological - (mental) awareness, confidence, commitment, decision making, concentration, communication
Social - values, beliefs and behaviours, family support, role models, coping with success, coping with adversity
All the above are important components in the make up of being a world class player. Football is a technical game and skills are an important component, so players need to hone their individual skills.
