SOME EXAMPLES PROVIDED BY LEARNERS ON MODULE 8 OF THE COURSE TO THE QUESTION: ‘Which methods you would recommend - or those you will intend to use - in order to help you identify potential 'late developers?’
1.Opportunity of playing players against similar height / weight players
2.Working with players on a one to one basis to understand technical potential.
3.Understanding whether what makes them ' a good player' will still make them a good player when they are matched up

1. Continue to educate technical staff, academy staff, scouts and most important players and families.
2. Utilize the opportunities that our Federation is allowing for Bio-Banding initiatives both at DA level (ability to play players in a younger age group based upon BB) and within our club.
3. Have proper documentation of players growth, physically and mentally in our tracking/software system. Use of Individual Development Plan for each player in Academy U13-19.
4. Assess if players should be looked at in other positions, either full-time or in training.

1. Have several teams per age group (as many as there are players for).
2. Players pay to play.
3. Paid coaches who are coach educated and well aware of RAE.
4. Educate players and parents about RAE.
5. Players are grouped according to ability, adjustments being made.
6. Players rotating positions until after puberty, where position specific training will start.
7. Use biobanding throughout and across age groups as well as mixed age group training.
8. Ongoing evaluations between coaches on players' development - Players move regularly between groups/teams (will also make the players get used to being pro/demoted, learning to deal with small setbacks).
9. No release of players - Children CANNOT be allowed to associate their playing football with something negative - If they're not up to the required standard, they'll join another group/team WITHIN the club and NOT discarded.

Note DOB during all trialling/ review/ release processes.
Remain objective in Talent ID, with only 1-2 characteristics able to be influenced by the current physical attributes of a player.
Work towards a space where we can bio-band within training environment even if we cannot do so for game days.
Track released players and their future development
Greater education of coaches and scouts as to the effects of early/late development

Not Making selections too early:
Can they develop? Look at their ability within their age groups are they being challenged? is it too easy? Are they struggling? If so Why? is it a growth Spurt? why have they lost co-ordination?
Play players up to challenge them at the same time could also play players play down for minutes and to help their development.
Work on a 1/2/1 basis with the players.
Change positions around, can they cope?
Keep records on all players both good habits and bad habits.
Give players time, we do judge players too quickly.

Within our recruitment strategy we will continually track released players for a mimimum of 18 months and collate data. I like the concept that Dave Richardson speaks about in terms of playing up or down age groups. This has a huge impact on players development. I have personally developed this strategy over the last 18 months. We work with our SS staff on testing. We will then bio-band for one specific session a week. We have also enhanced this work into our games programme. This has been successful where we have educated our parents through our induction evening and CPD on our rationale. We will work with players for blocks of six-eight weeks of the games programme. This season we currently have two 13's playing up two years, one 12 playing 13 and one under 18 actually playing for our sixteens. We sit down with parents after offering a scholar. He is a q4 birthday and the smallest within the group. It was therefore decided to allow him to study at 6th form and we got permission from the EFL for him to play within our sixteens. When the time is right we will move him back up into the 18's groups. In conclusion by informing players particularity in the YDp of playing up or down due to development rates removes the stigma of if he is playing down they do not rate him and he will be released.
I think I will definitely take more note of a players month of birth when comparing players and also not making decisions too early on players. I also really liked the concept of an 'open day' for late developers and a programme that has 2 categories (Jan-Jun & July-Dec) programmes.

1. Not rush into a early decision on a player.
2. As stated before after making a decision on a player, keep a track on the player over a time period. If his development has caught up with his age.
3. We should look at the player and his position on the field and maybe make a position change to help with his/her development.
4. Keep all coaches players and parents in the loop with planning and his/her progression.
5. Place the player in an environment which has the right balance, Challenging, will give player a good self esteem in the players progression.

1. Highlight in registers boys who have late birthdays to ensure coaches, scouts and decision makers are aware of this fact.
2.Keep a track of released players especially late birthdays and those identified as late developers.
3. Have Development centres that may help and support late developers.
4.Ensure that decisions of release of players is made by a number of people to help informed decision

- patience in player development
- tracking of released players
- not making selections too early
- benefits of being moved off the 'A' team for their development

Keeping tabs on young players that showed potential, when they were with your club, young players develop at diffrent rates but be patient. making sure you know where these players are playing and with which clubs, and follow up on there progress. a lot of players including myself, was told too small, let players know that there is diffrent ways to become a Pro, or evan a semi-Pro. The saying is if you are good enough you are old enough never give up. That is something these late bloomers must be told at a early age.

Play players up and down. Be patient during the TID-process, to see players development. Changing the players position, continue to follow the player, even after the player has been released. Not to do selection too early. Asses the players biological age vs. the chronological age, and use Bio Banding.

- Not making selections to early
- Play players up/down in relation to where they are physical and technical . (Important to have both the player and parents informed on the reason for the move and explain how it will benefit the development of the player)
- Change the position of the player.
