Youth Squad

From Soccer Manager Wiki

Youth system or squad is a football terminology used to refer to a particular team's youth investment program, which develops and nurtures young (often local) talent, with the vision of using them in the first team if they show enough promise,and to fill up squads in some teams with small budgets. Football clubs take responsibility for developing their own players of the future. Some youth systems are classified as football academies.

Within Soccer Manager the primary use of a youth team is to 'help you organise your squad better'. There will not be any specific games played for your Youth Squad, however you could play a game entirely with your Youth Squad by selecting them from your Tactics page. Players aged 21 years or below can be moved to your Youth Squad. To do this you will need to access their Player Profile, select 'Squad Status', then 'Youth Squad' and then click on 'Confirm Squad Status'. Likewise to promote a player from your 'Youth Squad' to the first team you will need to do the last procedure but select 'First Team' instead. Players can be moved between the two squads freely throughout the season.
