Who We Are

Our programme is specifically designed to provide students with the best opportunities to advance their football careers while ensuring they maintain a strong academic foundation. We offer a professional setting where players experience a full-time football training structure, preparing them for the next stage of their journey - whether that's League of Ireland Academy level, securing international scholarships, pursuing coaching careers, or exploring pathways in sports science.

We focus on holistic player development, both on and off the pitch. Our curriculum integrates academic education with strength and conditioning (S&C), performance analysis, sports psychology, nutrition, coaching qualifications, and comprehensive technical and tactical football training.

Our team of world-class coaches includes UEFA-Licenced professionals for football training and S&C specialists dedicated to athletic development. Through full-time training, players will enhance their technical, tactical, and physical skills in a controlled, professional environment designed to mirror the best academy structures.
