CEC Sport Academy Development Clinics
The CEC Sport Academy Development Clinics are designed for League of Ireland and high-performing grassroots players seeking a professional development environment.
Delivered by UEFA A and UEFA Elite Youth A licensed coaches, each clinic focuses on a key game principle and provides players with an opportunity to develop within a challenging, academy-level training environment.
Players will be exposed to the same coaching methodology used within professional academy football, with sessions focused on technical execution, tactical understanding, decision-making, and game application.
Places are limited and applications are required.
