Under-21 national coach Stefan Kuntz expressed his concern about too few youngsters making their way to their club's senior teams.

The association's coaches are encouraging clubs to have a second and a third team to provide match practice for teenagers on the verge of adult football.

Next to youth training, coaching methods need new inspiration. The association's efforts are expected to affect club-coaching after a new training license specifically for kids is implemented.

Germany has neglected the schooling of individual quality, says Schoenweitz adding "creativity, unique skills and personality haven't been a significant part of the learning process."

Chatzialexiou said the association is not an educational facility but is delivering know-how and advanced training trends.

ADVANCED YOUTH TRAINING

Schoenweitz is pleading for more age-specific training content supporting an enjoyment of the game, leaving space for personal development. "We might have over-professionalized youngsters' schooling, including an overload of tactical advice. Youth training was too often strongly inspired by adult training patterns."

Kids are "not mini-adults," says Chatzialexiou. German football needs to promote different types of footballers as in the past, a standardized type of player was favored.

Both said more openness and curiosity is needed when it comes to youth training.
