In 2026, Football Technique School will be going into our 16th consecutive year running FTS Development Squads.
Our Development Squads cater for talented young players that have an ambition and willingness to learn and a commitment to work hard. It is suited to families that positively support and encourage their children and are willing to ride the ups and downs along the way.
The focus of the FTS Development Squads is to provide an environment to maximise player development, ensuring refined techniques, creativity and game insights are transferred into matches (via competitive environment). The players are guided through the relevant age-specific elements of playing a dynamic possession based style of football.
