Football should always be fun 🙌

Was great to see so many kids hop inside the cages during our open day down at the Broadford Rovers FC Mini World Cup finals on Sunday.

Also a big thanks to gymlive.app for coming down to collaborate with us & show the kids a taste of the brilliant service they provide when it comes to the fitness side of the game.

Ball work is crucial, but if you want to take your game to the elite level, fitness training is just as important.

Make sure to check out Gym Live's socials for more info on how they can support your child's development.

Don't forget to keep an eye on our own socials for more exciting stuff coming up over the summer months ⚽️☀️

Pass & Move ⚽️

This is a great drill for players to work on their passing range & movement off the ball.

A pretty simple setup means this drill can work for all levels of player from beginners to elite level.

The player in the middle drops short for the first pass to the front foot & then backs up to receive the second pass on the back foot.

This helps the player to develop their control, whether they are coming towards their teammates or moving away from them as they receive the pass.

Before receiving the pass the player also needs to scan their shoulder, getting them used to checking the space around them before receiving the ball. Seeing the bigger picture around the pitch is a crucial step players must take to become top-level ballers!

This drill also allows the players on the outside to work on their way of pass, depending on whether their teammates is looking short to feet or moving away to receive the pass on the half turn.

All of these skills tie directly into in-match scenarios, preparing the player to transition their skills to the pitch when under pressure from opponents.

At the Irish Football Academy, we don't just want kids to turn up for a bit of a kick about. We nurture our players & give them the tools required to level up their game.

All of our coaches are PRO or UEFA licenced, so you know when you bring your kids to the IFA, they're getting elite level coaching.

If you want to give your kid the best chance of success, don't leave their training up to chance.

Work with the best coaches on a weekly basis & watch your kid take their game to new heights.

Check out our website for more information on our monthly subscription service & check out our session schedule to book your kid in for an IFA training session today 🙌

Summer Clinics ☀️ ⚽️

Forget what you know about summer football.

At the Irish Football Academy, we don't do camps. We do high-intensity clinics.

If you want a casual kickabout this definitely isn't for you. But if you want to take your game to the next level for next season, make sure you get yourself down to one of our clinics this summer.

Work with our elite Pro & UEFA coaches on a variety of skills including ball control, passing & decision-making, all focused around real match scenarios.

Don't waste your summer. Become a better player now.

We're excited to be heading to a brand-new location as well this summer with our Girls Only clinic in Celbridge, as well as another weekend in Peamount United and clinics in our regular home Marlay Park.

All clinics are now available to book on our website. But hurry, numbers in all sessions are limited to ensure plenty of direct time with coaches for all players.

Book your spot today!

At the IFA ⚽️

You don’t just show up, kick a ball around for an hour, do a few drills, and head home.

We develop intelligent players who can think for themselves on the pitch, make better decisions under pressure, and understand the game properly.

Train different. Play different.

Take your game to the next level.

Train at the IFA. 🔥
