IH Manchester Football Academy is excited to announce the introduction of a brand new programme from July this year. The Talent I.D. programme is a fully comprehensive 2 week elite footballer programme that aims to allow players to measure their skills against others and to clearly understand what their full potential is. The IHM professionally qualified coaches, many of which are ex-professional players, will put the summer squad through their paces to learn exactly what entry level each player can expect to achieve.
This is your opportunity to measure yourself against other aspiring football players and explore the best football career pathway for you.
Have you got what it takes to make it as a pro player? What is your potential? At what level are you now and to what level can you aspire to reach in future? What is the best way to forward your career?
You can study at 16 years + with IHM Football Academy. We offer the vocational Level 3 BTEC in Sport Performance, which offers a route to UK universities whilst you continue to train at our academy full time. You can also study A levels or a University foundation year with Abbey College Manchester whilst training with us. Many U.S. colleges and universities offer generous soccer scholarships for players wishing to study there whilst continuing to develop as a player. This programme allows you to determine which of these valid academic pathways best suits each player.
“On the IHM Talent I.D. Camp we can show you the options and help you to make the right choice for your football future.” enthused IHM Director, Peter Hayes.
