“Pro Player Football Academy has had a great impact on my son's footballing development. The coaches are very enthusiastic in teaching the syllabus and making sure each session is fun and at a level that tests the players. Seeing my son take what he has been taught in the academy, into games and into training at his club is a pleasure for him and my myself. The coaching sessions compliment the learning he has had in professional clubs and has given him the confidence and skill set to continue to enjoy playing at that level. The player coach ratio is an important aspect for myself as is the coach feedback and camaraderie that the players and coaches have together. I would highly recommend Pro Player as would my son who is excited every week to go to training’”

“My Son Daniel Duffy had shown good enthusiasm in football at club level. We decided to seize the opportunity and nurture his ability further through Pro Player academy. He initially joined the Development Squad and through the professional coaching and sessions he was identified to progress through to the Elite squad on a trial basis. The thought process in handling this move was well considered with regards to what his feelings would be if he wasn’t quite ready to jump to the next level. It has now evolved where other parents and coaches at his club have acknowledged to me on several occasions the huge progress he has made to his technical ability and all round game. He is thoroughly enjoying his time with the Elite Squad and looks forward to attending”

“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”

“My son James is a keen goalkeeper and has great enthusiasm for the game. He was lucky enough to be one of the original selections by David and John, and I can safely say he has enjoyed every minute since the day he joined. The level of training is intense and focused, and the atmosphere is always calm and happy as all the coaches have a self assurance which transmits to the players The goalkeeper coach, Mark Goodlad has brought a new level of learning and discipline to James. His sessions are deeply thought out and brilliantly structured, and I have watched all the keepers in James' group develop extremely well”
