Elevate Your Game: Where Skill Meets Opportunity

(Formerly Academy Development)


Cashmere Technical Football Club is proud to launch its Skills Centre - formerly Academy Development - a development initiative designed for young players seeking to elevate their footballing abilities. Open to players of all ages, this programme focuses on building technical skills, game awareness, and fostering a passion for football in a structured, supportive environment.


Skills Centre is a great place to fall in love with the beautiful game and work on your individual development, while also enjoying your football! 


Our team of qualified coaches will deliver skill acquisition sessions based on a long-term curriculum to develop individual techniques and decision-making in junior players. 


For those players looking to successfully land a spot on our Pre-Academy, Academy Development, Development/Division 1 sides, we highly recommend they attend Skills Centre.


Whether it’s to supplement team training or a first taste of football, our coaches will ensure an appropriate challenge point that is enjoyable and supports development.


The themes of the sessions for this term will be focused on technique improvement of the players. Themes will be: 1v1s, passing, dribbling, ball striking and technical skills to improve their ability on the ball in all areas. We will look towards bringing these themes into a game environment to give the players more detail around when and why we do certain things when we play.


Join us and develop the skills to shine!
