We try to teach players to develop their own skills and co-ordination through having a football at their feet for as long as possible, we have also seen this lead to enjoyment as they spend longer doing what they really want…kicking a ball around.  

We believe more time getting to know the ball will improve not only skills within football but the player as an all round athlete.  These methods are used by Premiership Academies and also in Holland and Brazil.

Medals - EVERY child who comes on our course will get a medal on the tournament week, unless they are on the winning team and win a trophy. Every child that takes part will learn something new and in the eyes of the EFA are winners.

The Child - We aim for the child to leave an EFA course feeling confident within themselves not only when playing football but in the classroom as well.  We want children to learn without having the fear of failure hanging over them. Often children have left course with a new circle of friends that they would have not socialized with before a course.
