PROGRESSION PATHWAY

At Modern Football Academy, our mission is to HELP YOUNG PLAYERS TO BECOME THE BEST THAT THEY CAN BE.

Modern Football Academy's Nine Level Progression Pathway is essential for structured, age-appropriate development. It provides clear milestones that guide young players through technical, physical, psychological, and social growth. By progressing through each level, players build confidence, master fundamental skills, and develop a deep understanding of the game. This model ensures no stage of learning is rushed or skipped, supporting long-term development over short-term success.

OUR goal

At Modern Football Academy, we believe that every young player deserves a clear, supportive journey to reach their full potential. That’s why we created The MFA Progression Pathway — a structured progression model built around the FA’s Four Corner Model, focusing on technical, physical, psychological, and social development.

Too often, talented players are rushed or left behind because of inconsistent coaching or unclear expectations. We designed The MFA Progression Pathway to provide achievable milestones, giving players and parents a clear view of where they are and what’s next. From the excitement of first kicks in our

Discovery Phase, to the advanced game understanding in our Development Phase, each level builds confidence, character, and skill.

Our experienced coaches assess, support, and inspire players at every step, tailoring sessions to their needs and celebrating progress — not just performance. Players are encouraged to learn at their own pace while developing leadership, resilience, and teamwork.

The MFA Progression Pathway isn’t just about football - it’s about developing well-rounded young people. At MFA, we’re not just training the next generation of footballers; we’re shaping confident, capable individuals ready for any challenge on or off the pitch.
