Academy

Method, age stages, session structure and how progress is measured — all in one place.

Method

We develop players who understand the game

Our method stands on four pillars. Every session, every evaluation and every match serves them.

1

Technique

Comfort on the ball comes first. In every session a child touches the ball hundreds of times.

  • First touch and ball control
  • Passing with both feet
  • Dribbling and 1v1 play
  • Shooting technique
2

Game intelligence

Children learn not only what to do but why: seeing space, making decisions, helping the team.

  • Reading the game
  • Movement off the ball
  • Small-sided games (3v3, 5v5)
  • Understanding positions
3

Physical development

Age-appropriate load: coordination, agility and speed — safe and healthy.

  • Coordination and balance
  • Short-distance speed
  • Agility and reaction
  • Proper warm-up and recovery
4

Character

Football is a lesson for life. Children learn discipline, respect and how to get back up after a defeat.

  • Team spirit and respect
  • Responsibility and discipline
  • Self-confidence
  • Fair play

How a session works

Every session lasts 60 minutes and follows the same logic: prepare the body, learn the skill, apply it in a game.

Part 1 10 min

Warm-up and coordination

Movement with and without the ball, agility ladder, reaction games.

Part 2 20 min

Technical block

The topic of the day — passing, receiving, dribbling or shooting — with lots of repetition.

Part 3 20 min

Small-sided game

The skill in a real game situation: 3v3, 4v4 or 5v5.

Part 4 10 min

Cool-down and review

Stretching and a short debrief: what worked and what we will work on.

Age groups

The group is assigned automatically by year of birth. League groups compete in the AFFA U-League.

How we measure progress

Every month the coach scores each child on six criteria from 1 to 10. The result appears in the member area as a radar chart with month-by-month change.

1. Technique

Ball control, passing accuracy, playing with both feet.

2. Tactics

Positioning, movement off the ball, speed of decision-making.

3. Physical fitness

Speed, endurance, coordination and agility.

4. Mental resilience

Reaction to mistakes, playing under pressure, concentration.

5. Teamwork

Communication, support, playing for a shared goal.

6. Discipline

Attendance, punctuality, respect for the rules and the coach.
