Take a detailed look at what's been happening at the Club's academy.
PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
Newport County Academy is implementing a coaching programme across the age groups, that is focusing on player development around the 4 corners (technical / tactical / physical / psycho/social). High intensity training sessions enhancing player’s decision making are being implemented throughout all phases of the Academy (u7s -16s). Academy Manager, Grant Kalahar has attended numerous training nights and games across each age group, enabling him to assess how the new training programme is positively enhancing player’s development.
INTERNATIONAL REPRESENTATION
Congratulations to Liam Angel (u18s) for representing his country and Rivel Mardenborough (u15s) for taking part in the FAW / Welsh Football- Trust Age group camps.
TOUR
Newport County Academy have teamed up with Life Adventures, to send 3 teams (u12s-u16s), to take part in tournaments in Poland and Germany. This will be an important development in the player’s psycho/social corner. It will also be a fantastic opportunity for them to test themselves against players from high profile clubs, such as Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund.
