  Mitchelton FC is putting together a strong Under 14 Div 1 Team for 2012.

The priority of this team selection will be:

1. Players who did not succeed in being selected for the Under 14 BJL Teams
   

2. Players who played Mitchelton Under 13Div 2 and can play at a higher standard.
   

3. Players from other (Non-Mitchelton) teams who meet the minimum standard.
   

Our expectation from this team is that players who are selected, and complete the season, would be suitable candidates for BJL trials in 2013.

The aim is to field a team of 14 players made up as below:

• 1 Goalkeeper
  

• 5 Defenders
  

• 4 Midfielders
  

• 4 Attackers
  

The team will coached according to the FFA 1-4-3-3 formation:

• 4 defenders + 1 substitute defender
  

• 3 midfielders + 1 substitute midfielder
  

• 3 attackers + 1 substitute attacker
  

As with all teams, we will be applying an equal playing time policy across the season. That is that all players should play approximately the same amount of time during the season.

Pre-Season Training:

We will have an aggressive pre-season training program consisting of about 7 hours per week. This is likely on Monday, Wednesday and Friday although this is negotiable based upon the participants availabilty.

After Easter the training will reduce to 4 hours per week, likely Monday and Wednesday (again this is negotiable).

We have 3 coaches available for this team:

• Main Coach: Andy Case (AFC Cert C/Senior Licence)

• Assistant Coach: Rob Jones (Youth Licence)
  

• Peter Moir: (UEFA B Licence). Peter will be available part-time
  

We have a full season of session plans aimed specifically at the 1-4-3-3 formation.

This style of play is as directed by the Football Federation of Australia Players coached in this formation will have a distinct advantage when subsequently hoping to progress to a higher standard.

Trials:

We will be holding trials in the week prior to Sign-On Saturday 21st, Monday 23rd, Wednesday 25th from 5-30pm to 7-30pm, Teralba Park, Mitchelton.
