Can someone suggest appropriate drills for certain age groups?

I sometimes worry my drills are too difficult for my players and I worry that they become discouraged and not want to come back again. What drills are appropriate for certain age groups?

It's not always to do with age, it's the level of skill of your player. I do practices with my U12s team that some first teams would struggle with.

So the drills depend on ability; if the drills are too hard then it's because of the player's ability/skill level.

This is a very, very broad rule because there tends to be more skill training with kids up to 12-13-years-old and then move on to game based sessions.
