My son has been to various football academies and all have played their part in his development. However, I feel Ryan’s 8to1 academy is more relevant to the game. Over 3 weeks the kids learn various skills based on a specific topic; defending, attacking etc and then the game week allows them to put those skills into practice. The skills taught are detailed and clearly demonstrated so that the kids understand the principles and what they need to do. The parent clinic is an added (for me, unique) benefit. It’s a great opportunity for parents learn the skills so that they can practice with their child and reinforce what’s taught at the academy.
My son loves the 8to1 academy. He says it helps him be a better player and it’s a fun. He really likes all the coaches, he thinks they’re great.
