HAPPY NEW YEAR

It’s been a great 2015 at Pro Player Football Academy. We are now coaching 250 boys on a weekly basis and have coached over 1000 boys within the Academy and schools in the Wakefield area. We have helped move several players on to professional academies and development centres. One of our aims at the beginning of the year was to forge links with local junior teams and we now formed strong links with the local community and with several junior clubs.

Thank you to all of the players and parents who are in involved with Pro Player. We would like to wish all a Happy New Year.

 

2016 promises to be our biggest year yet. We will look to continue to improve and grow our Wakefield academy and we will be opening our 2nd academy in Yorkshire in March. Plans are also in place to expand the Mini Academy throughout Wakefield. The holiday courses will have more variety and some will include stadium tours.

We can’t wait to announce our full plans watch this space for announcements over the next month.
