Kinetic Academy - UEFA Training Camps
December 5th, 2011
The Kinetic Academy squad will take 18 exceptional footballers from the South London area to participate in three separate training camps with UEFA qualified coaches throughout 2012. These training camps will include fixtures against professional clubs where Kinetic Academy players can showcase their skills in a trial format to hopefully win a professioanl contract. In July 2012 the Kinetic Academy squad will compete in the International Welsh Super Cup against teams from all over the world.
Alongside the intensive football training program the Academy players will complete a minimum of three hours volunteering back within their community. This will consist of delivering free sports coaching to young people in their community under the supervision of experienced Kinetic Coaching staff. The young people engaged in the free coaching will be involved in the project in terms of blogging or tweeting, video analysis and/or fundraising. Moreover the various partners of Kinetic Academy will be delivering workshops and offering work experience in sports physiotherapy, sport nutrition, sport development, entrepreneurship and CV enhancement.
Kinetic Academy aims to offer each young person a positive exit route after engaging in our program. This may be in the sporting sector, perhaps even through a professional contract, or potentially the positive exit route may be away from sport; however we want to give the young people a focus at a critical time in their lives to help improve their employability.
