2013 Summer sees the return of The iFDA residential course for

footballers aged 9-21. Our fourth residential will be staged in the

North of England at the newly refurbished Myerscough College,

currently home to several professional clubs including Blackpool FC

and Preston North End FC.

The course is specifically set up to deliver Premier League Academy coaching, within a residential environment to accelerate

development, improve focus and provide a lifelong international learning experience. Most players who attend our courses are

either playing within professional clubs, looking for trials or seeking Premier League Academy coaching.

SUCCESS STORIES

PAGE 6

Success come in many forms and our courses give

individuals the opportunity to progress to their own

personal level of excellence

M.A. attended one of our courses in

2012. After a handful of sessions his

potential was immediately recognised

as elite and he was referred to one of

our scouts for trial at Wigan Athletic

FC in the English Premier League. He

impressed suitably and was offered a

2 year contract.

At the time of releasing this brochure we have had over 40 players sent to professional clubs. Players who have attended our

courses have progressed to clubs including Manchester United, Manchester City, Wigan Athletic, Everton, Liverpool, Blackburn

Rovers, Watford, various semi-professional clubs, Universities and colleges.

We have since established a permanent link with Wigan Athletic Academy as the first option for all players ready to progress into

professional clubs.

His technical/tactical profile

suggested he was an elite player.

Later he was at Wigan Athletic turning

in a man of the match performance

for the u18’s. He was moved to the

senior squad before being recruited to

Everton where he trained with the first

team under manager David Moyes.

Highlighted as a player with elite

potential and was sent to Liverpool FC

for trials. He was released by Liver-

pool for being ‘too small’ so we made

calls to Manchester United and Wigan

Athletic. He is currently at Manchester

City with one contract already offered

to him and one imminent.
