The February half term is around the corner and we are providing football coaching from Tuesday 9th – Thursday 11th.
The course is available to the groups Under 5 – Under 12 and run from 9.30am – 3pm each day. The coaches all work within the Academy and we can guarantee your children will have a fantastic time.
Places are limited so please book early to avoid disappointment.
Welcome back to all of our players following the Christmas break. The Elite Group return this evening (4th January). The Development Group return on the 8th January. The Mini Academy return on the 10th January.
This month we will be focussing on changes of direction (ball mastery) and movement, spacial awareness and protection of the ball as our main topics. The block will consist of 5 sessions before the February half term holiday which commences on the 8th February.
We look forward to seeing you all this week!
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.

We would like to wish Under 11 Elite players Ellis Caton and Noah Harding and Under 13 Elite player Rio Evans the best of luck with their 6 week trial with Barnsley.
The lads have shown a great attitude and a willingness to listen and learn in every training session and more than deserve their opportunity with a professional club.
Good luck lads.
This adds up to 5 boys currently on trial with professional clubs with many more already selected. The work with Pro Player aims to help improve their confidence and ability to go and shine with professional academies and its testament to our coaches and the boys themselves that a there are players being constantly selected.
