Mohan's squad meets the Czech Republic in Waterford on Saturday evening and Monday afternoon and the Irish coach is looking for players to show they can feature in the Qualifying Round in October.
Ireland host the Czechs at the RSC on Saturday (19:45), then the sides will meet again at the same venue two days later (13:00).
In October the South East will host the UEFA U19 Championships Qualifying Round games where Mohan’s squad face Azerbaijan, Cyprus and Serbia.
"We've had two good two sessions so far, one at Waterford and the other at Tramore AFC and the attitude has been spot on," he said.
"In most squads there are injuries and clashes with club commitments but every time one players is unavailable it creates a brilliant opportunity for other players to show they can feature in qualifiers.
"We have some playing games this weekend and will link up with the squad ahead of Monday's game but all of the players who have been here so far have trained very well.
"We're looking for performances from players and the opposition provides the perfect opponent for them to show what their capabilities are.
"The Czechs are a very good side with several players who played in the UEFA U19s finals this year so they are really strong opponents which was what we wanted and its the test we needed ahead of the qualifiers."
