Head coach Pete Edwards looks at Ajax Youth system Protec head coach Pete Edwards and assistant Dan Edwards were
invited to spend time at the Ajax coaching and performance centre in
Holland with a view to furthering our relationship with the Dutch
premier league side. During the Last 5 months Protec has embraced
and used the new coaching and training methods devised by the Ajax
academy with great success, seeing a number of our players develop
and come through to sign for premier and league clubs this season. Pete said this was a very valuable and informative time for us being able to looking first hand at all of the age group training from age 8 to the first team. The training and development system that has been put in place over the last year at Ajax is producing some of the best young talent in Holland and hopefully will continue to do the same for us.
