The academy also offer player specific sessions so the children can focus on their chosen positions. Many of the players have progressed to profession clubs which is a testament to the academy’s style of coaching and progression. The players at 6occer Academy clearly enjoy the fun, professional environment created and have instilled the desire and ability to succeed.”

Also with the qualified education that the academy boasts young players are also taught on the other aspects of the game ranging from tactical knowledge, game analysis and player responsibilities on and off the pitch.
There in depth and rich knowledge of football both academically and practically is extremely important in ensuring that the young talents that come to train at the 6occer academy are developed in the most effective way using the most upto date training methods.
It is fantastic to see Mark doing so well as a football coach and giving his knowledge and skills back to the game and playing a key role in developing the future talents of tomorrow.
Under Mark’s supervision i am adament that the players are taught in the best way whilst keeping the enjoyment factor at a maximum.

Current Head of Recruitment at Kin Partners“The first thing that struck me was that they had a real knowledge of the professional game and the coaching was set up with the curriculum of a professional club. I also like the fact that they try to put their players on the best pathway for the individual. If it is for the professional game they know the right time to place the individual. Another thing that struck me was that they were the only Academy that I have come across that actually understood the importance of a players mind set. So, not only enhancing their football ability, but providing the necessary mental capabilities that it takes to succeed in professional football. In my opinion, it is a perfect Academy to enable a player to reach their full potential as all aspects of the game are taught, therefore enhancing their ability to succeed.”
