The Gym's School of Football has clear objectives and they are laid out to parents when they sign their child up. Primarily, it's to raise the level of rigour and competence from a young age with the aim of providing the pre-youth academy and youth academy with a wealth of talent in the future. To that end, the content of training sessions is mapped out in close collaboration with Manuel Pires (Youth Academy Director) and Fabrice Garrigues (Pre-Youth Academy Director).
The School of Football is motivated by three goals:
- Become a model for grassroots football in the county.
- Do well in competitions organised on a federal level.
- Participate in the biggest national and international tournaments.
