ABSTRACT The use of one teaching method or another is a key point in the training of young football players. For this reason, this study tries to shed light on which teaching methods are being used by football coaches in different categories of training. The subjects analysed, via a survey, were 36 football coaches in the Valencian Community who were carrying out their work in Benjamin (23) and Alevin (13) categories. The results, gathered after performing a quantitative analysis, show that the most widely used teaching method by grassroots/youth football coaches is the global or integral method. Furthermore, according to the survey respondents, the combination of several teaching methods is the most suitable way to coach football. Key words: grassroots/youth football, training, teaching methods, sports initiation.
