🔍 Our Development Approach

At PF Academy, we don’t just focus on results. We focus on how players learn, grow, and understand the game — because that’s what creates long-term success.

With the guidance of coaches who play/played at a high level and knows the game inside out (Coach Shaan, Coach Kyle, and Josh), we are introducing a structured weekly development system designed to help players understand the game, not just play it.

🎥 Sunday Game Video Analysis

Players will take part in online video sessions in small groups to keep learning focused and easy to understand.
Each week will rotate by position: Defenders, Midfielders, Attackers.
In these sessions, players will:
• Learn their role in simple, clear terms
• Review real game moments (what worked + what to improve)
• Understand decision-making in different situations

👉 This helps players see the game better — not just react to it.

🔁 Connecting Learning to Training

Every Tuesday session is designed from the Sunday analysis

This means:
• Players immediately apply what they learned
• Training becomes more meaningful and game-realistic
• Development becomes faster and more consistent

⚽ Monthly Match (Final Sunday)

At the end of each month, players will compete in a full match environment

This allows them to:
• Apply what they’ve learned
• Build confidence in real-game situations
• Track their progress as a team

💡 What Makes Us Different

Most programs focus only on training sessions.

At PF, we combine:
✔️ Game understanding (video)
✔️ Targeted training (on-field)
✔️ Real application (matches)

This approach helps players:
• Think faster
• Play with more confidence
• Understand the game at a deeper level

Respect & Teamwork

Coaches and players model sportsmanship, respect for teammates and opponents, and a team-first mentality that fosters communication, accountability, and leadership.

Sessions will be led by:
• Coach Shaan
• Coach Kyle (BCSPL-level experience)

We are just getting started — and we’re excited about what this group can become.

Fun & Positive Culture

We create an encouraging atmosphere where learning is enjoyable, effort is celebrated, and every player feels included and motivated to improve.

Our team

Our coaching staff and academy directors focus on long‑term player development within a family‑first environment. Sessions are age‑appropriate, fun, and designed to build technical fundamentals, game intelligence, and confidence while nurturing a genuine love of the sport.
