While continuing to support the 7v7 format during the initial stages, incorporating a tactical component into their gameplay enhances the technical skills they have been developing in the I-Academy. The understanding of formations, positional awareness, and the physical growth typical of this age begin to align. Emphasis is placed on possession and build-up play, which are taught to align seamlessly with our tactical identity.

This year marks the introduction of 11v11 formations for the player. Concepts such as wide play, midfield triangles, advanced positional roles, improved endurance, and a focus on the mental aspect of the game will be emphasized and developed. Building resilience and mastering the ability to handle stress in high-pressure situations are significant components of this age group.
