Programmes

Four pathways, one curriculum

Every programme runs the same principles and steps up the demand as players grow: more sessions, more analysis, harder fixtures.

A step closer to goal every age group

Foundation starts at the edge of the box, Development plays inside it and the elite pathway works in the six-yard box. The girls' academy runs its own line all the way in.

  1. Identify

    Open trials each term across Nairobi, plus scouting at school and estate tournaments. No fee to try out.

  2. Coach

    A single curriculum from Under-7 upward, so a player moving age group meets the same principles, not a new philosophy.

  3. Compete

    Every squad plays a real fixture list. Players are picked on merit and rotated so nobody develops from the bench.

  4. Progress

    Termly reviews with players and parents, and placement support into clubs, colleges and scholarship programmes.

Three steps to a squad

Trials are free and run every term. Bring boots, water and a guardian.

How a trial works

  1. Register interest

    Send the player's name, date of birth, position and location. Trials are free.

  2. Attend a trial

    A 90-minute session with the relevant age group. Boots, water and a parent or guardian.

  3. Placement

    Coaches confirm the squad and training days within a week of the trial.
