At Olé Football Academy we give our players permission to unashamedly pursue their greatest ambitions. Over the past 20 years, we have a proven track record of youth player development (ages 5 – 18) and placement of the New Zealand player at U.S. Universities and professional clubs. Olé embraces methods and philosophies consistent with world’s “best practice.” We see football as the world’s #1 medium for teaching young people.
The Olé Way is our multifaceted approach to player and personal development. We teach our players that the potential for improvement never-ends and that a CANI attitude and growth mindset are important factors when it comes to overcoming challenges and the pursuit of excellence. We expect everyone in the organisation, coaches, trainers, parents and staff to have the same drive towards personal growth and development.
So in the name of Constant and Never – Ending Improvement, we are excited to announce that Todd Beane and company (TOVO Academy, Barcelona) will be coming to Porirua- Wellington, New Zealand on the 13th and 14th of January to hold a 2 – day coaching and professional development seminar on “rethinking and redesigning youth football development.” To attend the seminar, coaches will be asked to apply on TOVO Academy’s website. Apply today!
