BSS Dubai: Ages 11+ Years

By the time players reach the oldest age group, their technical base is already in place. At Brazilian Soccer Schools Dubai, this means we’re ready to introduce new layers to their development – focusing on tactical awareness, physical conditioning, and the mental side of the game. These players now have the maturity and understanding to take on more advanced football training.

As their intelligence and physical capabilities grow, we guide players through more complex scenarios that help shape their decision making and game sense. Rather than limiting players to specific roles, we encourage them to experience different positions and responsibilities across the pitch. This helps them develop a full appreciation for the game and makes them more adaptable, well-rounded players.

We now introduce team play in a structured format, with players working through various match situations – from 1 v 1 up to full 11 v 11 games. Training continues to use FDS balls for close control and skill development, but we also bring in Size 4 and 5 balls to prepare them for standard formats of the game.

At this stage, our football coaching in Dubai also places greater emphasis on fitness, recovery and nutrition. Competitive intensity is raised, with players training in both Futebol de Salão and traditional formats. Through it all, we reinforce the techniques and principles learned throughout their time in the programme – ensuring every player moves forward with confidence, discipline and skill.
