BSS Dubai: Ages 8-11 Years

For players aged 8 to 11, training begins to shift towards preparing for more competitive play. At this stage, children start to practise individual, paired and group exercises under varying levels of pressure, helping them move closer to being fully match ready. Brazilian Soccer Schools Dubai supports this transition with a structured, progressive training approach that keeps individual development at the core.

The ICFDS Skills Badge Scheme becomes a more consistent part of each session. Movements are introduced one by one, then gradually reinforced and refined over time. We don’t rush this process – every child is given space to learn and master each technique in their own way.

This age is still a vital period for experimentation. We don’t judge performance by immediate success. Instead, we encourage players to try new things, test themselves, and enjoy the process of learning. Brazilian Soccer Schools Dubai is built around the idea that creativity and skill grow best in an environment without fear of mistakes.

It’s also at this stage that we teach children to see faults not as failures, but as opportunities. Whether it’s a missed pass or a skill they haven’t yet mastered, we help them understand that effort, resilience and trying again are just as important as getting it right the first time.
