About Us

Total Football Academy (TFA) was founded on the philosophy of Johan Cruyff’s Total Football. More recently, we have seen Pep Gaurdiola transform this philosophy into modern football. With an attacking style of play, a total footballer needs the tools to execute this philosophy:

  1. Good technique
  2. Insight and vision
  3. Personality
  4. Skill

Through our technical and small-sided games, we develop all four of those aspects of a player.

Without the ball, you can’t win.

Johan Cruyff

 

At TFA, we create an environment that encourages learning and teamwork. Our sessions are primarily focused on technique and skills development. With a good foundation of skill and technique, our players are able to progress to the next phase of their development and enhance their insight into the game through competitive games.

We expect to produce total footballers that can dominate games, outscore the opposition and entertain supporters through exciting dynamic football.
