Our qualified coaches follow CFA coaching guidelines, containing recommendations on typical content, important aspects and age specific considerations. The CFA Guidelines for talent and elite development focuses on 3 elements:

Personality Development
We want to educate and guide our players to become self-organized, self-dependent, responsible athletes on and off the field.
Individual Development
The development of individual talent and quality of the play has a higher priority than winning matches.
Systematic Development
Our approach is systematic, holistic, documented and development stage specific.

Canada First Academy's talent development program is grounded on the following objectives:

• Scouting and developing Canadian talent

• Develop technically skilled and tactically trained players

• Motivation and practical tips

• Promote the individual talents — away from success, and pressure

• Support for self-motivated talents

• Continuous development of our coaches by providing guidance and advice
