Excellence
At First Kick Excellence, our academy league is meticulously designed to propel young talent to peak performance. Students in the Excellence Programme train three times a week, intensively refining their technical skills, tactical awareness, and overall fitness.
Where Talent Meets Opportunity
Founded in 2006, First Kick Academy has always been about giving every child a confident first step into football. But as some players began to show exceptional potential, we knew they needed something more. That’s how First Kick Excellence was born in 2016.
This elite programme isn’t just about more training — it’s about unlocking possibilities.
Players selected for Excellence train three times a week, pushing themselves through intense technical drills, tactical challenges, and high-performance conditioning. It’s a commitment not every player is ready for — but those who are, thrive.
Awards
Through participation in the league, young athletes experience diverse playing styles and high-pressure scenarios similar to those seen in international tournaments. This approach enhances their adaptability, strategic thinking, and overall performance. The league stands as a testament to our commitment to nurturing talent, pushing boundaries, and preparing players for the evolving demands of modern football.
