Player Academy

This focuses on the ‘players’ of GKU Academy where we have specific skill development and academy training lessons that cater to all ages and abilities. The players academy offers a variety of different GKU core football skills that are worked on a week-to-week basis. This includes: striking the ball, running with the ball, first touch, 1v1 skills and strength and conditioning. Academy training groups students into relative age and ability levels which allows for the students to flourish in a small class environment. We aim to have a coach to student ratio 1:9.
