Welcome to Pro Player Advanced Academy
Welcome to the pinnacle of player development, where talent meets opportunity. At the Pro Player Advanced Academy. Based in Yorkshire across Wakefield and Rotherham we bring together players who demonstrate exceptional ability and the attitude to match, ensuring they thrive under a tailored coaching programme designed for the elite.
Preparing you for the Next Level
Our focus is on long-term player development. We believe every player can improve through our unique coaching approach, whether they pursue professional football or not. Through our academy, players not only sharpen their technical skills and tactical understanding but also develop life skills that stretch far beyond the pitch. We nurture resilience, teamwork, and psychological attributes, equipping our players for the challenges of both football and life.
Many of our players have progressed to sign academy forms for professional clubs such as Barnsley, York City, Sheffield United, Leeds United and Huddersfield Town.

Our video player reviews and personalised feedback provide constructive insights to boost player development, all with a maximum coach-to-player ratio of 1:12, ensuring individual attention.
Our program offers unique opportunities through established partnerships with local professional clubs. Coaches and scouts from Barnsley, York City, Sheffield United, Leeds United, and Huddersfield Town frequently attend our sessions to scout emerging talent.

LONG TERM PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
Pro Player Advanced Academy is the highest tier of our player performance pyramid which brings together players who have consistently demonstrated the right level of ability and attitude to benefit from coaching techniques relevant to this performance tier.
At the forefront of our coaching syllabus is long term player development. We believe that through our unique coaching, every player will improve, irrespective of whether or not they progress into a professional club.
By attending the academy, players will not only show an improvement in their technical skills and tactical knowledge they will also acquire many of the necessary social skills and psychological attributes that are essential in professional football and in life.
“There are many different clubs and development centres out there for kids under 15, but this one is different - it's solely run by ex-professionals. This means two things - firstly the whole set up is run extremely professionally, a lot of thought goes into each training session and you can literally see the kids improving week on week and secondly that they have an unrivaled contact list and can open doors into professional academies. Its thanks to both of these things that my son signed for an academy this year after 5 months. Finally and perhaps most importantly he loves coming down and training too”
