The Performance Academy (PA) is a Weekly Technical Development Program, for youth soccer players. Coerver® Coaching Performance Academies operate around the world with the aim of maximizing each player's development. This is achieved by providing each player with professional coaching, age specific technical and physiological programs, top class facilities and an extensive support program on and off the training field.
Our aim is to develop confident and creative players while teaching essential social skills such as good sportsmanship and respect, in addition to a good attitude to practice and play.
