The aim of talent development programmes in football is to provide players with a quality training process that contributes to the growth of success potential in the long run. Previous research show that the development of technical skills for youth football players is an important aspect in the growth of football players` skills for future achievements. However, no research has focused on what approach and content in technical training is optimal for youth football players aged 10 - 12 in order for them to use their technical training potential. The aim of the research is to comparatively evaluate different approaches to the technical training of youth football players aged 10 - 12, so that coaches could better understand talent development in youth football. Research methods: analysis of scientific articles (electronic scientific databases Web of Science CoreCollection, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar), search keywords - "football", "soccer", each of these words was associated with the terms - "technical development", "technical skills development", "youth" or "young". The period covered by the research is from 2000 to 2021 and includes content analysis of available technical training programmes and recommendations for youth football players aged 10 - 12 in the European countries leading in football. Main results of the research: the global approach is the most optimal approach to technical training of youth football players (aged 10 -12), as it promotes both the growth of technical skills of youth players and the holistic development of talent. The research demonstrates the advantages of the global approach compared to the analytical approach, in which the acquisition and development of technical skills is monotonous and standardized, which can lead to a loss of interest in the training process for youth players.
