ABOUT OUR PROGRAM
The 12th Player Academy is a skills-focused football development program designed to build strong technical foundations and game understanding during the important sub-junior years.
Designed for players aged 6–13, the Academy supports young athletes at a range of stages in their football journey. Our structured sessions focus on developing confidence on the ball, decision-making, and game awareness in a positive, engaging environment.
Alongside regularly scheduled training and games, we place strong emphasis on building positive life skills such as respect, teamwork, honesty, and gratitude. Players develop ball mastery, enjoy plenty of time on the ball, and learn through fun, skill-focused game formats.
We are committed to equal playing time and equal access to high-quality, professional coaching for every participant. Whether a child is looking to improve their overall ability, gain confidence in match situations, or work towards more competitive pathways over time, the 12th Player Academy provides a supportive, high-quality program that helps young players grow while enjoying the game.
What we focus on
Designed to develop players’ athletic ability and tactical aspects of the game, our curriculum works to improve physical performance and game intelligence in each of our players.
We also work closely with each of the players to address their individual needs so that they are able to apply and hone in on their natural abilities whilst developing tactical thinking during competitive play. That is how we take players to the next level in their evolution as a soccer player.
Elite team entry requirements
Each player welcomed to join the course has been assessed by our team of qualified coaches to ensure the groups are equally balanced in terms of ability, therefore optimising the efficiency of the learning process. Our Coaches have experience working at some of Europe’s top academies including Arsenal, Sporting Club de Portugal, Ajax and Feyenoord, and will work closely with you to ensure that your child is feeling confident and able to develop in an environment that promotes fair play and getting the best out of themselves.
