Love this Kiriakos Karamoutsos ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘

Hi Rickard Bjรถrklundย great question, and very common for teams in Sweden.

The key thing to know is the 42-week plan is a development roadmap, not something you must follow week-for-week with the calendar.

Because your outdoor season is shorter, the best approach is to compress the programme, not stretch your season.

April to mid-May (1 session/week)

Work through the key technical foundations at one topic per week. Focus on quality and repetition.

Mid-May to October (2โ€“3 sessions/week)

When your frequency increases, move faster by covering:

2 practices per week (if training twice) or

2โ€“3 practices per week (if training three times)

Priority for U9โ€“U10

Ball mastery and technique

1v1 attacking and defending

Small-sided games

Fun and repetition

Itโ€™s completely fine if you donโ€™t finish all 42 weeks in one season. At this age, consistent exposure to key themes matters more than completing the full programme.

Hope that helps.ย 

Fantastic Kiriakos Karamoutsos.. how did he get on with this one?

Iโ€™m unsure now! When I see 36 teams floating around it takes the edge off it a little bit! ๐Ÿ˜

Also Liverpool winning by a canter and having to play PSG last year just made a mockery of the format tbh! ๐Ÿ˜ญ

If youโ€™ve tried this session on dribbling, please feel free to drop some advice in the comments for others.. Technique Vs Pace is always one that comes up. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช

Love to see if anybody has any set prices learnt from Arsenal this year! Also feel free to share here, we will be building our set peice library very soon.. Sharing is caring! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Œ

Hey Salim, the Season Plans really are adaptable! It sounds like in your situation you have 10 players training which the sessions can be adapted to. The Season Plans are set up as one session per week, but you can absolutely run multiple sessions per week if this is your set up. My suggestion is be adaptable, adjust for player numbers and sessions per week and if you need to repeat or rotate sessions in and out this is what you should do here.
