How we play

Fast, possession football.

We want our teams to play fast possession football, with intensity and tempo across the whole pitch. We lean towards attacking football (what kind of Strikers would we be otherwise?) and press in every zone.

Football is a game. Above all, it should be fun.

Our methodology

How we
train.

The academy’s core aim is to develop each player’s individual qualities. Since we began, most of our players have been very young (between 4 and 12), so our training focuses on technique and very little on team tactics, which children are not yet ready to absorb.

Our overall training programme is led by the Technical Director, and it carries both the club’s wider philosophy and the style of play we want to pass on. To shape it, we first consulted Mr Bruno Redolfi, a close collaborator and Technical Director of our partner, the Italian Soccer School.

The Technical Director then connected with academies abroad, in countries such as Spain, England and Switzerland. We studied their philosophy, planning and training drills, kept what fits our own approach and the Greek reality, and built a programme from the best of each.

Five pillars

With younger players we focus on technical work in a playful format, with particular emphasis on mental development and socialising. As players grow, tactical and physical work is added. Throughout, we encourage initiative, creativity and quick decision-making.

  1. 01
    Technical

    The ball becomes a friend: control, passing, shooting.

  2. 02
    Tactical

    Positions, space and decisions, when the time is right.

  3. 03
    Physical

    Intensity and tempo, right for every age.

  4. 04
    Social

    Teammates, respect and team spirit.

  5. 05
    Mental

    Confidence, focus and initiative.
