In 2016 Coach Shakir, the Academy Director started to develop the idea of a centralised program in London, one that was focused around a continental style of play. Where technical, tactical aspects of the game were emphasised. The approach towards teaching younger players was more individualised and required a higher football IQ.

Being absolutely passionate about football, devoted to see children smile, have fun and learn through football. Coach Shakir, wanted to provide a program of
coaching, learning that values an individual’s progress and guides them to be the best they can be within a professional and challenging setting.

This is why our Academy exists, so we can in return give to children what football has given to us.

We want to inspire children the same way we have been inspired, be a positive factor and role model in their life – The Team at LTFA.
