Pre-Academy Program  


Program Description:

Pre-Academy is a year-round, intensive training program, which provides the optimal environment for players to develop their individual technical ability. The program follows a well developed curriculum, which focuses on core techniques each week.

The Pre-Academy program is designed to be an advanced setting which allows players from our development program to come into a more focused pathway for their development.
