NewsLFC International Academy to launch in South Florida

Liverpool FC is pleased to announce a new long-term agreement for the operation of LFC International Academy South Florida.

The partnership with Palm Beach Soccer Academy will give players the ability to train under the tutelage of LFC International Academy coaches learned in the principles and methodologies that are at the centre of what is taught at LFC's Academy in Liverpool.

Through the unique coaching methods of Liverpool FC, players will learn to improve technical and tactical aspects of their game, while learning key life skills centred on the four values of 'The Liverpool Way': ambition, commitment, dignity and unity.

The Reds' youth coaching will provide unique opportunities for boys and girls, aged five to 18, to learn to play 'The Liverpool Way' and compete across various Florida youth soccer leagues.

The year-round academy will consist of multiple teams and will incorporate league and tournament play, as well as camps during the holidays. Coaches will benefit from a comprehensive coach education scheme, which will include the LFC International Academy global accreditation.

Ian Rush, Reds legend and LFC International Academy ambassador, said: "We can't wait to get started in South Florida, an area that is very passionate about its soccer. We're excited to kick the programme off and to see it develop over the coming years, offering the best LFC coaching possible to youngsters from across the region.

"LFC IA South Florida, like all of our global programmes, aims to provide the very best LFC experience to its young players.

"To achieve this, we will focus not only on player development, but also coach education and development through our LFC Coach Accreditation and close liaison with the team here in Liverpool."

Gary Walker, Palm Beach Soccer Academy founder, said: "Palm Beach Soccer Academy is pleased to announce our new partnership with Liverpool FC.

"We have been working closely with LFC for some time to formulate this arrangement. We are honoured and excited that LFC has chosen PBSA to be their partner in South Florida. This coaching programme will truly be a game-changer for youth players in this area. They will have the opportunity to benefit from the LFC coaching curriculum, as well as many other advantages."

Ian Bishop, LFC IA South Florida technical director, added: "As a native of Liverpool and former Premier League player, I am extremely excited about the LFC partnership. It will be invaluable to give access to the curriculum of one of the world's best clubs. Our players will benefit immensely."
