What we do

Most consultancy bureaus only advise their clients on issues. Executing and implementing the suggested solutions is often left up to the client.

In this regard, Football Academy Development (FAD) is no ordinary consultancy bureau. FAD does more than advise. Working around the clock, FAD guides clients towards fundamental and sustainable improvement.

To achieve this, FAD's method employs three different stages.

In the first stage, we perform either a Quick Scan or a longer, more intensive Deep Scan. The scan will provide the client with an objective analysis of the current condition and level of their youth academies. Based on the results, FAD determines areas for short-, medium- and long-term improvement.

During the second phase, FAD, together with affected parties such as technical staff, managers, directors, chairmen and shareholders, draws up an improvement and implementation plan. So-called 'Milestones' will also be constituted. Milestones are moments in the envisioned improvement process where particular stakeholders give their approval and input before the next phase starts. This way, the relevant parties will be involved in determining the objectives and the progression of the process.

During the third phase, FAD will help you and your academy implement the envisioned improvements. We will also provide further advice and support for future innovations and improvements.

which consists of four modules.

FAD respects your football club's or association's (football-) culture throughout the process,

Using these methods, FAD will ensure the improvement of your academy while keeping the process transparent and in agreement with your club or association's needs and ambitions.
