Focus:
The Academy focuses on the FUN in the Fundemental Stage of Football coaching for the younger age group.
Our Aim: See Guided Discovery
From the 1st day, NAAS AFC Academy
set itself the goal of providing all players with a Ball, and a Bib. In the last 2 years the number of players registered with the Academy has increased from approx. 60 to the current 105.
Progression:
The younger players will get used to playing with a ball at their feet, the basic controlling and passing skills, and enjoying games and small matches with their friends.
Progression then takes the players on to learn more about ball control, using both feet, and spatial awareness. All players are encouraged to think about ‘fair play’.

Once players reach the age of 7, they get a chance to join a team and enter into the Leagues.
The Academy also caters for those who don’t start playing at the age of 5 or 6, and they are encouraged to use the Academy to develop their skills until they are comfortable enough to join a Team. Coaches:
The Academy Coaches come from U16 and U17 Squads, dedicated to the Academy.
All the Academy Coaches have been through the FAI’s KickStart I/II coaching courses, which covers coaching players from 6 – 12 years.
Additionally we have Club Coaches who have attained Youth Cert, and Uefa B licences
