Youth traning strategy?

What would you consider to be the most important attributes? In hockey its power, if less then 8 then its more or less a worthless player, is there an equivalent in football? I remember someone mentioning that speed and stamina are paramount attributes for any player, whats your thoughts, and training strategies for youths. ThanksWhat would you consider to be the most important attributes? In hockey its power, if less then 8 then its more or less a worthless player, is there an equivalent in football?

I would be curious as well to hear about better strategies for youngsters. At the moment I try to send them to training camps, according to the scout report, and to keep tabs on what they are best at, and what they've been training for - in the notes section. To keep the cost down, I only have coaches for speed and stamina for youngsters, and i try to focus on skills in the training camps, and balls in speed and stamina in normal training. Ideally, they should also be part of games, in order to gain experience, however that requires a lot of attention and tactical joggling. Any other thoughts?I would be curious as well to hear about better strategies for youngsters.

This post is from Evosa of the our MA’s in reply to a similar post previously: That depends mostly on strategy. I have identified couple of methods which people use: 1)Focus on main skill plus speed and stamina. 2)Focus only on main skill on training field. Speed, stamina and ball control are trained at training camp. 3)Training youths in speed, stamina and ball control. And if those skills go high enough than focus on main skill. Those I would call "main types" but there are many others. If you just started I would pick one of those methods at the beginning and with time you'll gain more experience and you'll adjust based on your experience.This post is from Evosa of the our MA’s in reply to a similar post previously:

ah thanks for the advice. scari, i like that idea, i might expand that strategy to involve coaches on key attributes, like shooting and tacking.ah thanks for the advice.

I like to train youth in the unknown skills that complement the known skills, to see if I can rule the player out and then exchange him if that be the case. And for the time being I consider speed, stamina, play intelligence, and ball control as universally necessary. If a youth comes with highest skills ball control and shooting, I might train him in heading, stamina, and speed while a youth. If he maxes out at 5 in speed or stamina, then it doesn’t matter for me how high his shooting is going to be, I won’t use him anyways so he becomes exchange fodder. As far as coaches, you might consider having speed, stamina, and ball control coaches on the youth training grounds and getting all your youth trained up in these skills before graduation. Then have passing, shooting, PI, tackling, etc. coaches on the senior grounds.I like to train youth in the unknown skills that complement the known skills, to see if I can rule the player out and then exchange him if that be the case.

Look at my posts in this thread. Most of it applies though the new scouting system has been implemented. https://www.managerzone.com/?p=forum&sub=topic&topic_id=12492560&forum_id=12&sport=soccer#44817934Look at my posts in this thread.
