Structure

We have six departments within the Academy

• Technical (Coaching)

• Education and Welfare (Lifeskills)
• Administration and Facilities Management

Each department is fully staffed with highly qualified and experienced people.

Method

How do we develop excellence within our Academy? Our methods follow this simple structure:

• Identifying: Our scouts attend matches throughout this country and abroad.
  
• Recruiting: We only sign players with real potential.
  
• Coaching: We place players with qualified staff best equipped to meet the needs of each player.
  
• Resourcing: We make the best use of our well equipped training facilities.
  
• Maximising: We offer players the best development programme allowing them to achieve their full potential by focusing on their educational, social, psychological and technical development.
  
• Retaining or releasing: Each season that players remain with us we keep them progressing. But for those players who are released we will endeavour to find them another club should they so wish.
