Whether participating in professional training or amateur training, in addition to the provisions of China Football Association and other relevant departments on youth football training, the training contract (or training agreement) is the basic agreement between trainers (clubs, football schools, etc.) on training matters. ) and the player (and his guardian).

The content of the training contract involves all aspects of football training, which may have a great impact on the future study, transfer and conversion to professional players.

Matters needing attention in signing football youth training contract:

The main body of the training contract should be the institution that actually provides training services. In practice, there are many ways of cooperation, such as business cooperation and brand authorization. Parents should pay attention to whether the high-quality training resources declared by training institutions in external publicity belong to the contracting party.

For amateur training, it is usually a relatively short period ranging from several months to one or two years; Professional training, such as professional club echelon, football school, etc. , the duration is usually long, and the longest may reach 10 years.

Parents can consider the training period in combination with the long-term planning of children's growth, especially for contracts with long training period or no specific period, and they should carefully consider the risk of changes in the process.

According to the relevant regulations of China Football Association, young players need to register in the Football Association system as members of their clubs (whether amateur or professional) before they can participate in football-related events. This registration is unique.

It is reasonable for training institutions to require players to register with the club, but in practice, there are also cases where the training contract has been terminated and the players have left the club, but the club does not cooperate with the change of registration, resulting in obstacles for players to train in the new club.

Therefore, it is suggested that the contract clearly stipulates that the training institution has the obligation to cooperate with the change procedures and can help set a certain penalty (of course, it is quite difficult for the training institution to accept this requirement).
