All Football Academies, Universities and Youth Coaches joining the platform have one thing in common: they have a passion for football, love the game and want to develop the football stars of the future.

 

The Stars of Africa Continental Football Development platform is there to support and facilitate both coaches, parents and the players to overcome their challenges, maximize their impact and achieve their goals.

What makes the difference?

A proven concept that was applied by some of the most successful clubs in the world, such as FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester City and AFC Ajax.

• The combination of our innovative and user-friendly application (also offline available in areas with no or poor internet) and tailor-made training sessions for coaches will increase the fun and development of the players and is increasing involvement of their parents.

• Each training-session is supported by field set up animations, learning objectives, methodical approach and coaching points. 

• By using the SOA CoachingApp also relatively inexperienced coaches are able to provide professional, varied and structural training sessions throughout the season, suitable by age and at a minimum of preparation time.

• It makes it also easier for coaches to assess their players after each match or training session based on a set of relevant development goals for the specific age group and make individual player development plans.
