Development Academy  Programme and Pre Academy Sessions

Our Academy Development programme is open to all players who wish to improve their skills with coaches on excellent facilities. These sessions are a great way to develop skills in a fun environment. Academy Development sessions run throughout the year and are an optional addition to team training. 

We run a girls-only group that is coached and mentored by our CWCL and WPL players, along with our Academy Development coaches. The boys groups are 7th and 8th Grade, 9th and 10th Grade and 11th and 12th Grade. Our Academy teams, which play in the Canterbury Development Leagues, are made up of 80/90% of players that have come through our Academy Development programme. Pre Academy Session will be on Tuesday and Thursday for the 11th and 12th Grade players. 

This year we are continuing our Goalkeeper Academy Development programme run by our Goalkeeper Development Officer Danny Knight who was the first Goalkeeper coach to receive his Goalkeeping C-License on the South Island. This programme is open to both males and females, and you do not need to be a CTFC keeper to be a part of this.
