E-youth
The e-youth (also called e-juniors) is a class division of the third youngest group of youth athletes, for example in football or handball.
As a rule, the age of these athletes is 8 to 10 years (in the 2019/20 season these are those born in 2009 and 2010). The younger athletes are divided into the F-youth and G-youth , the older ones into the D-youth , C-youth , B-youth and A-youth .
Soccer
In soccer, mixed teams (boys and girls) are also permitted in the E-youth. In the other youth, boys and girls are separated.
The E-Juniors play like the F-Juniors in the so-called 6 + 1. Six field players and a goalkeeper from two teams play against each other. In the E-Juniors, the tactical basics of the 6 + 1 from the F-Youth area are further developed. The aim is for the children to get to know different tactical variants of both the game system and the pressing. This is taught to the children in the final game of a training session. The focus in the E-youth is still the technical and coordinative development of the children. Passing exercises with technical elements expand the training program.
