At Enfield, we believe children with any skill level should have the opportunity to develop with professional coaches. That’s why we have developed the Rovers Academy.
Run by accredited professional coaches specialising in child development, our Junior Academy training focuses on 6-12 year old's who want to maximise their football potential and love of the game.
Ultimately, our goal is to develop intelligent, resilient, and creative players who want to amplify their potential and become the best player possible. Creating positive experiences helps develop a passion towards football and contributes to the start of your child’s journey. This is why we rank player development as a far more important indicator than simply winning games. Our professional coaches focus on not just developing skill, but they also challenge the players’ cognitive thinking which makes your child process, hold, store and retrieve information without them realising it. This translates to the child selecting the appropriate responses and problem-solving actions during games and training. The end result is to try and make each player as autonomous as possible.
Our academy does more than just teach football skills. By taking the opportunity to train your child, we try to connect with them through an environment that is welcoming and encouraging so players can fell free to express themselves during their development. We see football as a way to help your child not only improve their overall football, but to also build life skills that help cultivate success at anything they put their minds to. Some of these skills include:
