TRAINING OF ATHLETES IN FOOTBALL CLUBS

Abstract

It is an integrative literature review article, of the descriptive type and qualitative approach in which it sought to analyze the legal requirements for the performance of football clubs in the training of athletes. A bibliographic survey of articles available in full, in Portuguese, was carried out in the SCIELO and LILACS databases, using as keywords football, “athlete training” and “club management”, applying the time frame from 2014 to 2018. At the end of the selection process, seven articles remained that met the established criteria. After reading the studies and descriptive analysis of the data, the following categories were created, based on the most recurrent themes found: low education level in soccer; athlete training club; management of the trainer club and impact on the career of football athletes. It was found that, despite the legal duties established for football training centers with regard to the training of athletes, many of these still operate without appropriate supervision and / or pedagogical policy. There is, therefore, a need to understand the young athlete as a subject in human and sports training, paying attention, in fact, to the requirements demanded by the Brazilian legislation regarding his training, in order to expand the possibilities of obtaining success in professional career.
