Performance

The key objectives of the Performance Department are to enhance movement efficiency, increase robustness and improve football performance: this all adds up to FootbALL Fitness.

We aim to maximise player availability; for playing, coaching sessions and football skill development.

Player centred and Coach led.

The development of each individual person and player sits at the centre of everything we do: our Academy is Player centred and Coach led.

This means we continue to develop and evolve players by age and position.

We have a big focus on making sure the ‘Player is at the Centre’ of everything we do. It is our primary responsibility to identify and provide the correct support for whatever development needs a player may have.

We ensure that we have the right games, right training and the right opportunities for the right players.
