Soccer program

Program Goals

SGFC's goal is to develop players to their fullest potential at an elite level, so after their time with us they go on to an even higher level.

We want each player to maximize their talent and potential during their time with us. We will encourage them to step out of their comfort zone - tactically, technically, nutritionally and psychologically - to improve their all-round game.
Our coaches are UEFA B qualified which means they are FA (Football Association) and UEFA endorsed, following the established “4 corner” model used by professional clubs to develop players.
The opportunity to play weekly games for the Men’s team as well as the u23 Development team, means players will be part of a unique development programme.
Playing in England gives the Select Generation players an opportunity to participate in a national league system of over 7,000 teams, coordinated by the Football Association, with promotion available to the best teams in each league every year.
The Select Generation coaching team have personally gone through similar playing experiences and will manage each player to ensure they are nurtured through their playing time and recovery afterwards.
