Our under 22 also has players ageing an average of 20. That is not a big
deal. Under 22 does not mean that all players are just below 22. If you
have a good player at the age of 18 and he is talented, he can be in
the team.

I think what needs to happen here is people need to be made aware of what actually Indian football is, because I don't think people on this forum are really aware of what is going on in the real world.<div><br></div><div>1. Firstly, Youth Football isn't Under-15 or Under-18 league or competition based football - It starts from 4 years, and goes up to 16.</div><div><br></div><div>2. Youth Football is not about competition. The idea is to generate interest in the game and NOT bring about a competition format. Why? Because when it comes down to competition, people start looking at "winning" rather than "development". The moment "winning" becomes part of training children, you end up creating third-rate players like you see in the I-League everyday. To create TECHNICALLY SOUND and TACTICALLY AWARE players, you need to make sure that children ENJOY the game and have FUN playing it.</div><div><br></div><div>3. Whoever thinks that youth football begins at the club level doesn't know how football works. The first and most important aspect of youth football is "street football". This includes those pick-up games that we played in the evenings, with friends. This DOES NOT include any academy structure because academies train you for 1 hour, three times a week. Lionel Messi didn't train for 1 hour, three times a week - if a child doesn't enjoy the game, he will not put in those hours required to become technically sound and tactically aware!</div><div><br></div><div>4. The problem is that there aren't enough children playing football in this country. We, at Cleat Beat, are changing that by giving out free footballs to children from second and third tier towns as well as in villages.</div><div><br></div><div>5. The second major problem in youth football is that coaches aren't trained. Any coach, who until the Under-16 level, trains a team to win, SHOULD BE FIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. There are too many coaches and academies where people do not know how to coach, but are training kids. They need to be trained and we, at Cleat Beat, are training coaches for free, in local communities, to make them understand what needs to be done in the right way.</div><div><br></div><div>6. Airtel, Manchester United Soccer Schools, Barcelona Schools - all are useless marketing gimmicks that will never create ONE good player. Why? Because the fee to get into these schools is higher than the monthly salary of most Indians. We need numbers to play the game, not a handful of children who can buy Adidas Predators and pay 15k a month for academies.</div><div><br></div><div>7. A lot of people on this forum are discussing the I-League, the Pailan Arrows and so on. However, what they don't realise is that the foundation, (which is 4 to 16-year olds) in this country is flawed.</div><div><br></div><div>In 2010, we had launched our magazine and some guy named "Somesh" made fun of the name - Cleat Beat. Well, Cleats are the shoes we wear when we play football and Beat refers to the field of journalism.</div><div><br></div><div>Then another said that we wrote about "European Football". We don't write on European Football, we write on GOOD FOOTBALL PRACTICES. That, in no uncertain terms, means that we don't care what happens in Indian football at the moment because it is useless and not worth writing about. There are only two things we care about - First, what is the best known way of playing football and, second, how to instill those habits into Indian children.</div><div><br></div><div>We at Cleatbeat.com are giving away free training exercises every single day. We run a magazine that talks about the best practices in football coaching, management and playing at all levels of the game. We do not advertise on our website, or charge money for anything that we offer from our site.</div><div><br></div><div>What we want to know is why are there so many people who are willing to TALK about Indian football and not ONE of them volunteers to DO anything about it?</div>
Well @cleatbeat well you finally(some 1 year later) gave the reply @somesh and others asked back when you joined the forum about the motives of cleatbeat..... you could have said this earlier and there would have been no miscommunication.........
