Do football academies accept players of the age 20-21?
Generally, most academies promote signings of players up until the age of 16/17 - as these are the last few years become you become a senior player. However there are several cases of now professional players playing in the non-leagues, who have worked hard and been signed later in their careers. Players such as Jamie Vardy for Leicester City FC - who plied his trade in the 5th tier of English football until 2012, when he was aged 25. He is now playing in the Champions League, and internationally for England.This is just one case which shows, that if you continue to develop and work hard; eat healthy and stay in great shape, there is no reason why you can’t get spotted by a professional team. Many players also hire agents who have connections to professional teams and can arrange trials. However many are in the game solely for the money, so you should be careful going for this angle.It’s a good time to contact football clubs, as it’s the beginning of the season, so many teams may be looking for specific players. Make sure you know your best position, and maybe even create a ‘footballing CV’ or a video showcasing your skills, which you can send out to prospective teams.Best of luck.
I am 23 years old and wish to play professional soccer. Is it possible?
No it is not possible. Stop dreaming.There is an answer that mentions Jamie Vardy. It is misleading and gives false hope. It hides the fact that Jamie Vardy was part of the academy set up at Sheffield Wednesday and totally ignores the accomplishments he had in the semi professional league before breaking into professional leagues. That answer also ignores the quality at such leagues and shows n o respect to the players plying their trade there. He was offloaded at age of 16 by Sheffield Wednesday. Since then he moved onto play for clubs that take part in semi professional leagues.Jamie Vardy is not an exception. There are many who have taken the same path. More than half of Swansea’s team during their first season in Premier League are players who have been with swansea from lower level of the professional football in UK and have been part of teams in a semi professional league.You have to be part of academy set up when you’re young no matter what. If you’re sent away at an early age, then you should continue playing in the semi professional leagues. If none happened, stop dreaming, wake up and get real.
How does one get a UEFA coaching licence?
Lets go step-wise on his one..1. Level 1-This one is for all coaches with little experience or knowledge. The course provides an introduction to the organisation and trains you to be able to deliver safe and enjoyable coaching sessions. It is a one day course.2. Level 2-Once you have completed your Level 1 or you’re a coach with a few seasons experience, you can go for this. As a coach you will be able to ensure the health and safety of players and those involved and be able to develop greater responsibility for their own learning and development. This takes around 6 months to complete. Now you can start coaching amateur, school teams etc.3. Level 3 / UEFA 'B' Licence-You will need your Level 2 badge and you should also have to complete an Accident and Emergency Course and a Child Protection Course before being able to start your Level 3. As a coach, you will also learn how to effectively evaluate your activities and develop a plan for your further development as a coach. This qualification will not only form part of a credible CV for employment in the game, but as a UEFA accredited qualification, it will allow you access to a variety of opportunities within the professional game.P.S.-Experienced professionals can be fast tracked to Level 3 (If you were wondering about Zidane)4. UEFA 'A' License-Now this is equivalent to getting a degree. Having this qualification makes you very employable to almost any coaching role available. It takes two years to complete and can only be done if you are working with or for a national FA. This licence operates a pass or fail basis and it is now mandatory that all league managers hold a ‘UEFA ‘A’ Licence. 5. UEFA Pro License- This is the final and highest coaching qualification available. A UEFA Pro Licence is required by anyone who wishes to manage a football club in the top level of the nation’s league system on a permanent basis. his applies to both the head coach or team manager, and such a licence is also required to manage in the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Cup. P.S.- Each current manager of a top-flight team in Europe was set a deadline of 2010 to acquire the licence, or else face losing his post.If you look into each and every detail, this indeed is quite confusing. :)
I am now 22 years old and I want to join a football club as a player. Can anyone tell me how to approach the clubs be it either ISL or EUROPEAN clubs?
Well, sorry to tell that the you the current scenario is not favourable to you.Unfortunately you have crossed the age around which players are picked up.If you are playing for some local club, then there is still a chance, but that would include a lot of hard work and luck factor.But still u would just write the information i have about how ISL grassroot program works.They started out last year. Every year there are grassroot festivals organized in the home cities of 8 franchise clubs that are currently playing in the league. But they are not picking up players above U15 and for the final grassroot program, where selected kids from 8 locations get to participate only considers U13 players. I don't have much knowledge of European grassroot systems and how an Indian can join them. But I think that's even more tough. Good luck though!
Looking for info on flight attended that sued airline for firing her over wearing braids?
• Renee Rogers, an African-American employee at American Airlines, wore cornrows to work. American had a grooming policy that prevented employees from wearing an all-braided hairstyle. When American sought to enforce this policy against Rogers, she filed suit, alleging race discrimination. In 1981, a federal district court rejected her argument. It first observed that cornrows were not distinctively associated with African-Americans, noting that Rogers had only adopted the hairstyle after it "had been popularized by a white actress in the film '10.' " As if recognizing the unpersuasiveness of what we might call the Bo Derek defense, the court further alleged that because hairstyle, unlike skin color, was a mutable characteristic, discrimination on the basis of grooming was not discrimination on the basis of race. Renee Rogers lost her case.
What's the maximum age to join a football academy? How can I join one?
It's depends.However, the optimize age is just as young as possible, and if you want to turn pro, then most of them start at 13Feel old? It's okay. Some pro players start their career even at 19, although at that age, they will start from amateur league, not from academyAbout the second question, if you come from a football nation, or a big nation, then you just type Football Academy in your language in Google and find the one that suitable. If not, then you should prepare to go abroadI kust want to remind you again that you can turn pro by play in amateur league, not just only from academyGood luck!
I want to be a professional football player, how can I get myself advertised at the age of 22 and become one?
I don’t want to be negative. But it requires a lot commitment it makes me wonder about your commitment if your asking this question at 22. You can play and enjoy football just fine without becoming pro. If you really just want to be pro. Also you can become a coach, trainer, physio, nurse, umpire, linesman, doctor, lawyer, game designer, marketer for football there’s so many ways to become involved in football.I guess if you’re really serious the only real way is to move your way up to from your regional competition to national. And the best way to do is to achieve the highest possible fitness level you can attain. Running 10km+ a day dieting strictly and then taking that fitness and score multiple time a game specially in scouted games. At a national level there you can get the attention of clubs.
I am from India. Can I join Real Madrid CF?
Chances are slim to non. 0.5%. You have to be playing in either Real Madrid academy. Or in the league of very high value with exception records and serious talent. They only buy supreme talent (Ronaldo, Bale, Benzema, Rodriguez, Modric, Kroos, etc or generate from academy (Raul, Morata, Nacho)Their least talented players are Nacho and Casemeiro (both of whom are fairly World Class talent).Even players like Pepe, James Rodriguez, Morata are to be sold. Supreme World Class talents like Ozil and Di Maria were sold.So unless you are scoring 30 goals a season in European league or in their academy. There is no hope.Real Madrid is a team based on supreme attacking and fast football with incredible technical ability that takes years and years of serious sacrifice and hardwork.
