ACE Football Academy: Our Mission
Our mission is to make children fall in love with football.
Statistics show that less than 0.01% of all children that play youth football go on to become a professional footballer.
With this in mind, we believe that the focus of youth football should specifically be enjoyment followed by development and progression.
We believe that coaching success is not judged by how many make it to elite, but by how many become well-rounded individuals with good values, attitude, character, and life skills.
A recent study found that children’s participation in football is determined by 5 factors: perception of competence, fun & enjoyment, parents, learning new skills and friends and peers. Our company ethos is to create an environment where children can express themselves, socialise, make friends, and have fun.
