Our Story
Pro Football Academy was founded by ex-professional footballer, Carlos Roca. Growing up Carlos had the privilege of playing at world class club academies, that transformed his footballing skills and provided him an exciting footballing pathway. Carlos went on to play for a number of professional teams and following his retirement worked as a coach with Manchester City.
Carlos setup Pro Football Academy with a belief that more young players should get access to top level coaching and facilities.
Pro Football Academy started with just a single centre in Wythenshawe, just outside Manchester, England. Since then, the academy has grown massively. We have not only hit over 100 centres in the UK. But have also expanded internationally, opening centres in Spain, Dubai and United States, bringing our best-in-class coaching and syllabus to the world stage.
We are continually innovating our proposition and services and launching centres around the world.
Our Unique Syllabus
Our syllabus is a specially devised training schedule for our coaches which looks at all aspects of the game. We want all our players to have the opportunity to improve technically, physically, socially whist having fun in a safe learning environment.
We are proud that over 200 of our past players have progressed
to train and sign for top UK football clubs including…
