From Day One you will be working on:
- Development of your individual technique

- Set pieces
- Strategies and techniques
- Specialist training methods for outfield players
- Specialist training for goalkeepers
- Pre-season training
- Anaerobic exercise and plymetrics

During the season Protec Football Development School sets up showcase coached games against professional sides behind closed doors. These games are for the players with the best attitude and potential who apply themselves on and off the pitch.
At the Protec Football Development School your academic success is as vital as the football expertise you gain. Your academic course work and attendance must be at an acceptable level before you are selected for games.
Protec Football Development School teams represent a number of Clubs and institutions ranging from non-league to professional. All our players will have the opportunity to represent the Protec Football Development School in the respective leagues and national competitions.
