You can 'recruit a youth player' from your Youth Academy once each week, after the regular weekly finance updates have taken place.

You can choose the nationality of the player.

Intensive Training Sessions (ITS)

By accruing ITS and using the ITS on your youth pulls, you may be able to turn a fairly average player into a youthie with real potential and respectable or proficient skill level.

Each ITS session costs $2k, the maximum you can purchase each week is 10 sessions - costing $20k.
The ITS accumulate until you choose to use them on a youth pull. The maximum ITS you can accrue ie 100 ITS.

ITS can be allocated to your youth player before you promote him. The player already possess a degree of natural talent, but the level and distribution of those starting skills is completely random. Your ITS adds a very small amount of skill onto the attributes you allocated them to before you promote him.

You can allocate these ITS sessions in any way that you want, but you cannot assign any more than 12 sessions to one skill. After you are happy with the session allocation you can promote the player to the senior squad.

The following list shows the minimum skill you get when allocating ITS.

  • 0-1 worthless
  • 2-3 abysmal
  • 4-6 woeful
  • 7-10 feeble
  • 11-12 mediocre

The maximum amount of ITS you can use is determined by the age of the player you are creating, and the level of your Youth Academy.

Youth Academy condition

All academies experience some deterioration each week. Unless your academy is at rock-bottom worthless it is always degrading at the same rate. It drops about 1 level every 10-11 weeks. A youth academy repair costs $30k to raise it one whole level. Categorically, the condition of that YA has no relation to ITS.
