Player development is not just about their technical skills, but also about their mentality and character. It's about shaping players into
well-rounded individuals both on and off the field. Talent alone is not enough; it takes the right attitude, discipline, and continuous improvement that truly make a difference.
At NEXT 11 Academy, we have a comprehensive player development curriculum that consists of five stages. Each stage is designed with specific goals to ensure proper progression for our players throughout our program. Our focus is on incorporating games and activities that provide players with ample opportunities to interact with the ball.
Our approach prioritizes the individual player's development over the team's success. We firmly believe that nurturing each player's technical, tactical, psychological, and physical abilities will pave the way for both individual and team achievements. We aim to foster creativity and innovation among our players, both on an individual level and as a collective unit.

Location & Future Vision
While our immediate focus is on fielding teams for the upcoming fall season, we also aim to develop top-tier indoor and turf facilities. These facilities will not only benefit our teams but also serve as a valuable resource for the community.
By renting out the facilities and exploring other opportunities, we can offer financial assistance, scholarships, and support programs. Our goal is to ensure that every child, regardless of their economic background, can be a part of the NEXT 11 Academy family.
We understand that bringing this vision to life requires careful planning, coordination, and collaboration with local officials and city departments. We're committed to working closely with the relevant authorities to explore the possibilities and make this vision a reality.
