testimonials

The IFA academy has helped me in so many ways. I used to be a very nervous player whenever I had the ball, however now I feel a lot more comfortable and calmer. I have also gained a lot more confidence in myself which I believe to be really important which isn’t usually focused on that much in your own club.

Michelle Muddiman

IFA Girls Academy

The IFA academy has helped me develop by having really high standard training sessions and the best of the best coaches, and by giving me these unique opportunities to have trials with pro teams abroad.

Denis Buiciuc

IFA Boys Academy

They helped a lot in regards to the international trials, each day they sat me down and talked through the sessions from the night before. They would say anything we needed to work on and what we did well in which helped to prepare for each session. They had everything sorted for us from the minute we got there and made sure we were looked after the whole week.

Abi Ward

IFA Girls Academy

I’ve learned a lot from the IFA programme, including how to play at a higher level, comprehend the tempo and intensity of the game, and aid in the development of my knowledge of physical and tactical play.
