 DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY

Vision for Excellence

LASE Soccer Academy was founded with a mission: to create a environment that emphasizes technical development, strategic understanding, and personal growth for soccer players. The academy’s philosophy combines cutting-edge training techniques with a focus on sportsmanship, teamwork, and discipline, ensuring that players not only excel on the field but also grow as individuals.

​​What Makes LASE Academy Stand Out?

1. Tailored Training Programs LASE Academy understands that every player is unique. That's why our training programs are designed to cater to different age groups and skill levels. 

2. Highly Experienced Coaches The backbone of any successful academy is its coaching staff, and LASE Academy prides itself on having some of the most skilled and passionate coaches in the field. Many of our coaches are former professional players with years of experience both playing and coaching at high levels. This invaluable insight helps athletes push past their limits and realize their full potential!

3. Focus on Mental and Physical Fitness While soccer is a physical game, LASE recognizes the importance of mental resilience. Through a combination of mental conditioning, goal-setting, and physical training, players are equipped to handle the challenges both on and off the field. The academy’s holistic approach ensures that players stay balanced, focused, and motivated in their pursuit of excellence.

4. A Culture of Teamwork and Sportsmanship -  At LASE, it’s not just about individual achievement. The academy creates a strong sense of belonging and teamwork, encouraging players to collaborate, communicate, and support each other. This focus on unity extends beyond the field and helps instill important values such as respect, humility, and leadership in players.

Development Academy Program

​

Our Development Academy Program typically spans 12 months, running from May to April, and is tailored for players aged 7 to 22 years, providing opportunities for academy trials. This program is designed to enhance all aspects of a player's development, focusing on:

​

  • Technical: Touch, Intelligence & Game Understanding

  • Athletic: Strength, Agility & Speed

  • Psychological: Cognitive Processing

We offer a comprehensive range of development teams for players from U7 to U22, mirroring the processes of a UK premier league football club. Initially, all trialists undergo specific tests based on five key measurable areas:

  • Technical

  • Athletic

  • Psychological

  • IQ

  • Social

After the assessments, players are evaluated using a traffic light system (Red, Amber, Green, Blue) and placed accordingly. While the academy's Development squads do not participate in a league, they engage in matches against other local teams and inhouse games .

In contrast, the club (LASE LIONS) have an active league program and play academy games & showcase events as well as travel opportunities.

 

Players enrolled in this program benefit from:

  • Up to 5 Hours a week of training 

  • A weekend match (LASE LIONS)

  • Possible selection for matches against professional academies 

  • Possible selection for showcase matches

  • An opportunity to trial at a professional club 

  • Individual Improvement Plans for both fitness and football

  • Quarterly review meetings with age group coach and lead coach

  • LASE Academy training shirt
