This is an extra training opportunity for our young academy players who are keen on some extra time with our most qualified coaches. Although only for our early risers, the program sees small groups of players training directly with our Academy staff (Jordan, Roberto, Pav, Michal, and Vlad). As always, a program that pulls the most talented and passionate players together, with some of our very best trainers, is a recipe for success... even if you gotta get up extra early to take part.
