JBFC Training Program
Our training program is designed to provide you with everything you need to progress onto the Professional Development Pathway overseas. The training follows the UEFA and FIFA standards meaning that should you wish to move on, you'll have readied yourself in the right manner. The training is tough and requires extensive commitment - but gives you so much opportunity.
These sessions are planned out each week and the key is to prepare you for opportunities within football both locally and overseas.
WHAT WE PROVIDE
JBFC’s experienced SFA, English FA, & Football Australia licensed professional coaches will help you train to your full potential using UEFA training programs utilised by clubs overseas.
Your individual development will be regularly monitored & discussed with your own club (should you so desire) and directly with clubs and / or coaches in England. We aim to provide you with Individual Learning Plans (ILP’s) which will allow you to work on specific elements that may increase your chances of applying for overseas opportunities.
In addition, you'll receive video footage of your training sessions and you'll have attendance at club games by a JBFC scout with a detailed report on your game on that day.
You'll also receive: -
- Opportunity to train & develop utilising global training programs against the UEFA curriculum.
- Analysis support of performances to aid development
- Regular Feedback on Progress
Pricing and Cost
The program fee contributes to covering essential operational costs, including facility hire, insurance, and equipment, as the program currently operates without external sponsorship.
The fee is structured at a flat hourly rate, applied over a set number of hours per session. Each term runs for a defined period, typically between six to nine weeks. Programming is paused during peak competitive seasons to:
- Avoid placing additional financial burden on families already supporting player participation elsewhere.
- Support player wellbeing by managing training loads and reducing the risk of burnout due to overlapping commitments with school, club, and competitive fixtures.
Any surplus from fees is reinvested into the program, including support for end-of-season events and initiatives.
Additionally, a full scholarship is awarded annually to one participant, covering all associated costs in recognition of merit or need.
