Why join the TFA seniors (15-18) pathway to EPC
Ever since I have come to Dubai, I have noticed the limited access to professional clubs for Dubai Kids. with most football teams made of Expats, their limited access to pathways to professional clubs is a gap that needs to be filled. Despite talent, the teenagers with a serious commitment to the sport miss the chance to reach higher professional football because there is no direction for players in the age group of 15-18 years,’ Ali El Jishi, Coo and Founder TFA. Aimed to impart skill, tact, and training to children in 15-18 years, the Seniors’ team of TFA is ultimately a pathway to Dubai EPC. Each session establishes football as a part of life and a spirit of sportsmanship in their personality. The high-energy programs are drafted and curated to encourage children to develop physical strength and mental agility so that their talent can be showcased and celebrated professionally.
The Senior Programme is critical because it focuses on the age group where children with the skill to become professionals are first noticed and mentored with seriousness. It is also the right time to plan a long-term road map for players with exceptional talent and dedication.
This age group also sees a dip in players continuing the game, and apart from distractions and other aspirations, the players and their parents don’t see scope for growth in Football. While there are plenty of academies for toddlers and many avenues for professional players, there is avoided in the 15-18 years age group.
Whether you are looking for an introduction to football or supporting an exceptional talent, TFA’s Senior program has you covered. We provide speed & agility training, offensive/defensive skills, flag pulling, and scrimmaging – while maintaining personality development!
TFA introduces the fundamentals of soccer and focuses on skills such as dribbling, passing, and shooting to bring the players a more conscious awareness of space and shape.
