If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the last nine years of building Pro Elite Football Academy, it’s the importance of being comfortable with change.

Here’s how our evolution has shaped us:

✅ 2016 – We launched with a class-based model (18 months – 3 years progressing to Foundation Phase).

✅ 2018 – Introduced a grassroots programme and competed in local leagues because we thought that’s what we wanted.

✅ 2020 – Withdrew 18 grassroots teams and created our own internal league.

✅ 2022 – Built a hybrid model: Internal league + grassroots teams.

✅ 2024 – Scrapped it all and returned to our 2016 model: classes only.

Sounds crazy? Maybe.

But over time, we felt we were moving further away from our core purpose.

That’s why, early last year, we made a decision—to go back to what aligns best with who we are as an Academy.

💡 Inspiring the love of the game.

If it doesn’t fit that mission, we aren’t involved.
