[edit] Youth
Karachi United started their youth program in 2001 with just a few players. The youth program has produced some amazing progress by sending the team to Manchester United soccer schools in 2004 and then later they sent 2 young players to Charlton Athletic in the summer of 2006.
Karachi United youth is divided into two groups, Academy and Program. The Academy has advanced training as compared to the Program, which was established to develop the fundamental skills of players. Each group is divided further into two other groups, which are Academy seniors and juniors, and Program seniors and juniors.
Youth focuses on four founding principles, namely Technique, Speed, Discipline and Skill.
Throughout the course, participants are assessed to determine their level of achievement, relative competencies, strengths and weaknesses. Along with theoretical knowledge of the sport, elements such as game sense and knowledge that are essential components for all footballers form the core elements of the curriculum.
In addition to producing footballers, by the very nature of working with youngsters, KUFC Youth also recognizes the social development responsibility that comes with it. Characteristics developed through exercises and activities within KUFC Youth help shape personalities and teach principles such as ethics, team building, and organization. This is very much in line with our aim and objectives of not only providing football coaching but also aid in the social development of our youth in Pakistan.
