FAQ'S
Why is it called the AM Code?
This technical curriculum covers all the fundamental soccer concepts (Technique, Skills and Football IQ) that young soccer players should learn when they're still young so they can have the best chance of becoming professional player. The AM Code sessions plans and videos, were written and designed by a UEFA Pro coach Austin MacPhee and is used by youth coaches and clubs to deliver specific technical sessions once or twice a week.
At what age should players learn technique?
The earlier players learn to master the technical aspects of the game the better their chances of becoming a professional soccer player. The AM Soccer Club in Scotland teaches the AM Code as early as 5 years old, mastering the key concepts with repetition and different levels of complexity so that when they reach the age of 14 they are capable of playing in any tactical system or style of play with confidence.
Can Football IQ be taught to children?
AM Code concepts are designed to be simple so that children can easily understand why each coaching theme is important. For each theme you will find the coaching cards with essential technical language for you to communicate and test the knowledge with your players. It's so satisfying when your young players can repeat the coaching points back to you for example Safe Side - opposite arm/opposite foot or Scanning - checking shoulders before receiving the ball. You know you've done your job when you get that response because the player now has the information to make better decisions to impact a game.
