When youth football players show advanced competencies within their own age group (i.e. U9, U10, U11, etc.), they may be permitted to compete in a chronologically older age group - commonly referred to as 'playing-up'. Despite this approach being regularly used in practice, coach perceptions of playing-up are yet to be empirically evaluated. Therefore, this study used semi-structured interviews with ten academy football coaches from the United Kingdom to examine their perceptions of playing-up on player development. Following thematic analysis, results showed three higher-order themes comprising nine lower-order themes: (a) strengthening communication approaches (i.e. refine terminology used, emphasise communication between coaches and players, and educate key stakeholders), (b) considering support from social agents (i.e. include parents in the process, involve coaches and multidisciplinary staff in decision-making, and promote supportive peer environments), and (c) facilitating individual player development (i.e. challenge technical and tactical skills, reflect on psychosocial impact, and consider physical competencies). These findings highlight how coaches perceive playing-up as a useful holistic player development tool, which could be enhanced through effective key stakeholder communication and support.","PeriodicalId":17066,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sports Sciences","volume":" ","pages":"2466-2481"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147473915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a cross-sectional design, we surveyed - using the Talent Development Environment Questionnaire-5 (TDEQ-5) - 3217 participants (players n = 1456; parents n = 1432; staff n = 329) from 30 English female football TDEs. Descriptive subscale analysis revealed largely positive perceptions of TDEs (>4/6 of each subscale). Coaches had more positive perceptions of the TDEs than players and parents in all TDEQ-5 subscales, except for the alignment of expectations subscale where coaches had the least positive perception. Significant differences between players, coaches, and parents (p ≤ 0.001) were evident across the support network (coaches most positive, then parents, then players) and alignment of expectations (parents most positive, then players, then coaches) subscales. Based on lowest scoring items from players, coaches and parents, we themed key opportunities for development under (1) achievement-related communication, (2) success planning, and (3) coping skills.

The perceptual-cognitive skills of 40 highly-trained ice-hockey players were assessed by their coaches and the results were compared with the athletes' performance on four laboratory perceptual-cognitive tasks (neuropsychological battery, multiple-object tracking, temporal occlusion, virtual reality).

Data were analysed using multivariate ANOVA. During maturity-matched games, technical actions decreased as team size increased. More mature players displayed greater technical actions in 4v4 compared to 6v6. Maturity-mismatched games revealed significant technical action differences for less mature players, particularly in 4v4 formats. More mature players covered greater high-intensity distances in maturity-matched and mismatched 6v6 games. Psychological scores were higher for more mature players in smaller team sizes (4v4), whereas less mature players showed consistent psychological scores across all formats.

GKs across four age groups (U12-U15; N = 3431) who are part of the German Football Association's talent development program completed five motor tests assessing general speed abilities and position-independent technical skills. GK-specific technical and tactical skills, and GKs' overall performance level, were subjectively assessed via coach ratings. Univariate analyses performed separately for each age group confirmed the predictive validity of the motor tests (Mdn(d) = 0.35), evaluations of GK-specific skills (Mdn(d) = 0.68), and ratings of GKs' overall performance level (Mdn(Φ) = 0.21). Multivariate analyses demonstrated that considering all predictors in combination revealed explanatory power for a YA selection (.13 ≤ Nagelkerke's R2 ≤ .22), with at least one significant objective and subjective predictor. Yet, except for participants in U14, only one GK-specific predictor reached significance indicating limiting additional explanatory power from other subjectively rated variables.

Maturity status and timing were estimated using the Khamis-Roche method and population reference data. Fitness tests were also performed. Perceptions were assessed using 5-point Likert-scale questionnaires and coach interviews. Players reported opportunities for new social contacts during bio-banding, which contradicted the coaches' initial concerns. Players moving to a less advanced (maturity status) bio-band perceived more responsibility and beneficial use of speed/size and reported more puck possession (Likert score 4.0/5). Players moving to a more advanced bio-band saw more technical/tactical challenges (4.3/5). Coaches recognized benefits such as individualizing training and improving selection procedures. U16 players showed earlier maturity timing compared to the Swedish reference population (P < 0.05); U15 players did not differ. Maturity status correlated with strength (r = 0.59), agility (r = -0.6), explosive power (r = 0.51), and endurance (r = 0.53) (all P < 0.01).

Their adult professional football level was assessed in 2023. Cluster analysis revealed four stable types of athletes across both time points. Two significant transitions emerged: the athlete type who perceived low levels across all variables had a lower probability of turning professional, whereas the athlete type characterised by parental praise and understanding combined with directive behaviour and some pressure, alongside low positive feedback and social support but involvement in decision-making had a higher probability of reaching the professional level. These findings underscore the importance of viewing the parent - coach system as an interconnected whole.
