Academy Preparation FAQ

FAQ

What is academy preparation coaching?

Academy preparation is specialist coaching designed to help ambitious players reach the technical, tactical, physical and psychological standard professional club academies look for — and to thrive once there.

Can you help my child get into an academy?

Yes. Our academy preparation programme has helped players progress into professional academy setups, international youth football and scholarship pathways.

What ages is academy preparation for?

We work with players aged 5 to 16 — from young players developing the foundations through to older players preparing for academy trials and selection.

How much does academy preparation cost?

A taster assessment session is £25, a standard 45 minute session is £50, and a block of 5 sessions is £225.

Do players still need this if they are already in an academy?

Yes — many academy players use 1-to-1 coaching to accelerate individual development and work on specific aspects of their game that group sessions don't fully address.

What makes your pathway effective?

We combine a UEFA B qualified coach, position-specific detail, structured long-term planning and progress tracking — all built around the individual player.

Is goalkeeper academy preparation available?

Yes. We provide specialist goalkeeper academy preparation covering the full modern sweeper-keeper skill set.
