Expert guidance from coaches

My time at the Football Academy at Claremont has been nothing short of memorable. All the coaches have expertly guided me through the technical and tactical ferocity of the game and the intricate mindset shifts to make me perform better and feel more confident. They have consistently proven that the CIFA can produce footballers capable of advancing to the higher levels, and will do so again.
