Measures of leg power (3 step jump and counter-movement jump) increased significantly (3.4 and 6.0% respectively, p < 0.05). No injuries occurred during the study in either group. Feedback was also gathered on the young players’ perceptions of “The 11”. Changes in performance scores within each group were compared using independent t-tests (p ≤ 0.05). Prior to, and after the intervention, both EXP and CON groups performed a battery of football-specific physical tests. The EXP group followed “The 11 ”training programme 5 days per week, for 6 weeks, completing all but one of the 10 exercises. ![]() Twenty-four young football players (age 10.4 ± 1.4 yr) participated.

There is a paucity of evidence regarding the use of injury prevention programmes for preadolescents participating in sport. ![]()
