Coventry City manager Aidy Boothroyd is set to give the clubs younger players their chance to prove they have the talent and ability to cope with Championship football.
Boothroyd started his coaching career managing the under 17's at Peterborough before moving onto youth development at Norwich and West Brom.
Boothroyd said to the CT: "I think every club should aim to have a young player in the team. Of course, they have to be good enough but I think supporters can identify with the club more if they can see younger players coming through."
"It cannot be all kids in the team because you can end up losing games you should win because of inexperience, but equally, you can't just have a 'Dad's Army' team. Fine, they have got the experience but nobody wants to do the running that's needed!"
Coventry City have six academy graduates in their squad for next season, but probably Jordan Clarke at full back will see more of the action than some of the other players.
Central defenders Jermaine Grandison and Nathan Cameron and goalkeeper Michael Quirke along with strikers Shaun Jeffers and Callum Wilson will be looking to impress during training with the hope of getting some first team experience.
One of the advantages of utilising academy players will be the chance to attract a new crop of youngsters to the club's academy.
"We've got a big catchment in this area with a lot of other clubs trying to recruit younger players, Aston Villa, Birmingham City, West Bromwich Albion, Leicester and Nottingham Forest, to name a few," said Boothroyd.
He continued, "When parents and their sons are deciding which club they want to join at an early age, they want to see that there is a route through to the team. We want to provide that here at Coventry City."
