a better term maybe: youth squad (squad implies pre-selection for future potential I think)

Reserve team
One might find "Chelsea reserves" in one of the junior leagues in the UK; it is another expression very common, along with "A" - just the same as here - to indicate the "second team". The terms are interchangeable to a major extent, along with the one already offered.

Another possibility, and particularly if you are talking schools football, would be \"colts\", although this may apply more to rugby football.

Oliver Annacker
: Reserve/youth/youngsters. Not colts in this context, IMHO.
