Pro Football Academy (PFA) is a UK-born soccer coaching network founded by former pro Carlos Roca and now one of the world’s largest youth football academies—featuring over 160 centres across the UK, USA, Spain, and Dubai—dedicated to developing players aged 5–12 (and up to 14 in the UK) using a structured, phased syllabus delivered by FA/UEFA/USSF‑accredited coaches aimed at enhancing technical skills, game understanding, creativity, confidence, and physical literacy in a fun, safe environment. Their weekly sessions include ball mastery, passing and receiving, dribbling, finishing, and small‑sided games, all tailored by phase—from Discovery to Foundation (and Youth Development in the UK)—with opportunities for optional camps, trials, and one‑on‑one coaching. Based in Manchester and part of the Stockport County FC ownership group, PFA combines grassroots passion with professional-level coaching standards, offering free trial sessions and flexible, year-round programs that complement club football commitments.
