  • Available Programmes: 7 and 14 days

This is a tryout programme to become part of the academy's annual training team - it is not a direct tryout for a professional football team. It is designed for players who are looking to improve their athletic performance in order to reach the competition level required to make the leap to professional football.

The most prominent students from the academy's annual programme will have the chance to attend tryouts with professional or semi-professional football teams, but this will only happen once the training staff deem that they have all the necessary technical and physical skills and are mature enough to take the leap into a career in professional football.
