INTRODUCTION

2013 Summer sees the return of The iFDA residential course for
footballers aged 9-21. Our fourth residential will be staged in the
North of England at the newly refurbished Myerscough College,
currently home to several professional clubs including Blackpool FC
and Preston North End FC.
The course is specifically set up to deliver Premier League Academy coaching, within a residential environment to accelerate
development, improve focus and provide a lifelong international learning experience. Most players who attend our courses are
either playing within professional clubs, looking for trials or seeking Premier League Academy coaching.

SUCCESS STORIES
PAGE 6
Success come in many forms and our courses give
individuals the opportunity to progress to their own
personal level of excellence
M.A. attended one of our courses in
2012. After a handful of sessions his
potential was immediately recognised
as elite and he was referred to one of
our scouts for trial at Wigan Athletic
FC in the English Premier League. He
impressed suitably and was offered a
2 year contract.
At the time of releasing this brochure we have had over 40 players sent to professional clubs. Players who have attended our
courses have progressed to clubs including Manchester United, Manchester City, Wigan Athletic, Everton, Liverpool, Blackburn
Rovers, Watford, various semi-professional clubs, Universities and colleges.
We have since established a permanent link with Wigan Athletic Academy as the first option for all players ready to progress into
professional clubs.
His technical/tactical profile
suggested he was an elite player.
Later he was at Wigan Athletic turning
in a man of the match performance
for the u18’s. He was moved to the
senior squad before being recruited to
Everton where he trained with the first
team under manager David Moyes.
Highlighted as a player with elite
potential and was sent to Liverpool FC
for trials. He was released by Liver-
pool for being ‘too small’ so we made
calls to Manchester United and Wigan
Athletic. He is currently at Manchester
City with one contract already offered
to him and one imminent.
