Children used to grow up on play-grounds where they learned how to play on their own without any rules. This environment provided a foundation for the selection of more talented players. The situation has changed forever as these play-grounds have changed or disappeared.

The systematic club environment replaced these play-grounds, and is now responsible for the development of children"s soccer skills.

The learning process has a great significance. It has already became clear for countries that dominate soccer today that it is important to place the development, education and training into the hands of professional teachers and coaches working at soccer clubs.

The business and professional world does not rely on coincidences. Masses of children – since the age of 6 – have been taught and trained in clubs based on a standardised professional system. These professional teachers and coaches do not guess the meaning of training, but they develop – mentally, technically-tactically, conditionally - professionals using a scientific basis.

• 
  
  small-sided games

  co-ordination
  with and without a ball
  
  
• 
  
  individual training and
  
  
• 
  
  the fundamental knowledge of the system of playing

have an important role in the process of development.

All the successful clubs focusing on youth development – the Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish, etc. clubs/ build their systems on such foundations as the ones previously mentioned above.
The modern "Player Factories” are organised around big clubs which, – with the help of smaller amateur systems and players scouts – make sure that none of the talented children will be left out of this development process. This co-operation between clubs provides a platform for amateur soccer, for filling the stadiums with spectators. It also helps to produce those who will work in the administrative part of soccer such as managers, international directors, sponsors, and owners. This system ensures that only those who will take up a profession in soccer will have a strong attachment to the game and not those who are in it because of their own financial interest. This is why the professional world is working well economically, rationally and successfully.
