24 US Soccer's Player Development Initiatives Focus moves away from the team and onto the individual player Development and winning do not have to happen independently from one another Our misguided desire to win at all costs at the youth levels often comes at the expense of individual player development This change will inspire many parents and coaches to rethink how teams will be formed moving forward and this should take place with each individual player in mind based on his or her developmental needs

25 US Soccer's Player Development Initiatives Small-Sided Games - Development philosophy and playing standards for players 12 and younger Develop improved skills with the ball Players improve confidence and comfort with basic ball skills (dribbling, trapping, passing, etc...) Develop intelligence with and without the ball Promote faster decisions and better awareness Develop partnerships within the team Provide an age appropriate environment Standards align with physiological needs of players based on age
