TFA FOOTBALL ACADEMY
The football academy is a fully licensed football academy delivering education through the beautiful game of football. Over the past four years, we have expanded our TFA program from senior football to junior football, and more recently Little Boots for toddlers.
Why Us
TFA’s approach to football is educational. We believe that sports, including football, should be taught to children at a very young age. Acquiring basic football skills helps children develop a range of motor and coordination skills alongside social and emotional aptitudes. Using soccer-themed games and well-structured fun activities little players are taught the FUNdamentals of football - or how to dribble, shoot, pass, recover the ball and head it. We provide in-school training sessions and after school activities for children from the age of 3 and above.
​
Qualified Coaches
Our coaches come from different parts of the world, equipped not only with the relevant professional certifications they all contribute with their diverse coaching and playing experience to delivering rich, full-scale soccer learning curriculum.
​
Reports for Parents
Our players are carefully selected and scouted with the aim of continuously developing a spirited team able to challenge for silverwares and produce world class players. TFA is delighted to have the opportunity of working with Dubai's finest players.
EDUCATION THROUGH FOOTBALL
Our Curriculum is built around the four cornerstones of football: Technique, Tactics, Physical and Mental abilities.
Each of these elements helps children’s overall development and soccer skills and, most importantly, their ability to approach situations from a new angle and look for different solutions.
Football is a physically demanding game that offers players the opportunity to improve their speed, agility, strength, hand-to-eye coordination, and overall cardiovascular endurance. We understand that beyond the thrill of playing matches, playing the game can help children develop social skills new friendships, and improve their self-confidence & self-esteem and learn respect, teamwork, loyalty, discipline, and hard work.
​
Children who are physically fit are also believed to achieve better academic results.
Webinars
​
In addition to the sessions on and off the pitch we provide for our students soccer webinars helping players in their understanding of game tactics: defending, attack and ball possession are only a few of the topics we cover.
Game Strategy
​
Football often comes down to the strategy that a team employs at the end of a close game. We examine and teach team tactics, preparedness and the organizational skills needed to play effective football. Utilising UEFA designed 8 V 8 sessions, we deliver 90 minute sessions training our players in tactical principles of pressing, transition, counter attack and fluid movement.
Nutrition
​
When not in the gym or on the training field young players need to be able to recover from the effort and avoid injuries. A healthy body is a healthy athlete which his why one of our priorities is to inform and educate the importance of Nutrition. Adopting a healthy lifestyle is a key element of our more educational approach to football and we want to ensure all our players have a clear understanding of the “good” and “bad” in food.
PRIDE & PASSION MEETS SUCCESS
From inception, the success of The Football Academy has been built on the quality of our coaching. We truly believe that football isn’t a one-dimensional game, so we combine different philosophies when it comes to teaching our students the principals of soccer.
Our coaches come from different parts of the world, equipped not only with the relevant professional certifications they all contribute with their diverse coaching and playing experience to delivering rich, full-scale soccer learning curriculum.
