Soccer Elite FA have announced its NEW Advanced Academy at the newly opened Kings Hill Sports Park on Wednesday evenings.

It will be offering players in school years 8-11 the ideal opportunity to further enhance their game through their renowned brand of player development & advancement.

In responding to ever increasing demand for places within their existing Advanced Academies within these age categories, plus the requests to offer alternative evenings other than Friday, in securing these superb new facilities it is an ideal time to address these comments and open what will be their third Academy of its kind within the heart of Kent.

With its location being west of Maidstone, it creates new opportunities for players either residing or playing for clubs to the north and west of the county – as well as catering for players whose ability levels match those of their Advanced Academy but who are unable to train on a Friday evening due to personal or club training.

The aim of the new Academy is to provide a tailored programme of development to players who are both like-minded & similar in ability levels, enabling everyone to gain maximum benefit from the bespoke training delivered by a combination of UEFA Pro Licence, ‘A’ & ‘B’ level coaches.

With the likes of former Gillingham manager Andy Hessenthaler amongst the Soccer Elite FA coaching staff, those attending are sure to get the highest standard of coaching in Kent.

 

The content will be specific and tailored to the age categories, including technical, tactical, creativity, physical and position specific work all combining into the most enriched and leading-edge development program offered to date.

Entwined will be elements of the ‘mental’ side of the game including decision making, emotional control & handling adversity as well working with and looking at differing critiques and analysis that will enhance awareness, appreciation and all round learning at this crucial stepping stone of development towards the adult game.

Players invited into the Academy will experience a different dimension to player development, expanding personal horizons on what is possible that will help individuals create & focus on a personal development plan that will support the improvement of performance both within the training & match day environments.

Opportunities for category 1 fixtures against pro Academies will form part of the development program offered by the Advanced Academy, all of which provides players with the perfect platform to demonstrate levels of capability, attitude & aptitude for the game at the highest level.

With demand expected to be high, Soccer Elite FA will be facilitating ‘open’ trials on Wednesday September 18th & 25th with players asked to register by 5.45pm on both nights.

Sessions will commence from 5:5oPM with SEFA’s Head of SAQ, Strength and Conditioning delivering a full warm up prior to the full session beginning at 6:05PM and finishing at 7:20PM.
