Who are we...
SJK International Academy is the Elite Youth Section of professional Club SJK 2007 that offers academy level coaching to players aged 8 to 19. We teach our players using a progressive Spanish training syllabus that has taken 4 years to complete, using the best coaches and best facilities that will exceed those of other Finnish professional clubs. We operate in the mornings before sc
hool and evening activities so that all SJK International Academy players can receive Professional Academy level training during the week but can also continue with their local team commitments and interests in the evening. What We Do...
