Find Your Session

Four ways to train
with IFA.

Whether it's weekly small-group coaching, a dedicated 1:1 pathway, or a squad-wide block at your club — pick the setup that fits.

Monthly Subscription

Built around the
individual child.

Everything about IFA's programme is designed so every player gets seen, coached, and developed. Four commitments that never flex.

Groups of 10

Small enough for every child to get real touches, real feedback, real attention.

Child-Centred

The person before the player. We coach character alongside technique.

Development Plan

Every player gets an individual plan, reviewed and updated by their coach.

Continuous Feedback

Parents hear what we saw, what we worked on, and what comes next — every month.

The IFA Feedback Loop

How the loop
keeps improving.

Coaches capture what they saw. Parents see what we did. The plan adjusts. Every session starts where the last one ended.

Session Feedback

Coaches log observations on every player, every session.

Central Platform

Notes land in one place — the full picture of each child.

Shared Insights

Parents get clear, honest updates on progress and priorities.

Continuous Improvement

The plan evolves. Next session starts where the last one ended.

Four Pillars

The whole athlete,
not just the player.

Ball skills are where we start. Conditioning, nutrition, and mindset are how we make it stick. One pillar is live at launch, three roll out in the first year.

Ball Skills
