Pre-Sports School Programme
The Football Academy organises the Learn-To-Play (LTP) Football Programme throughout the year for interested Primary 3 and 4 students who are recommended by their respective Learn-To-Play (LTP) Football Programme schools. The programme is sponsored by Temasek Foundation Futures for 3 years from 2022. The objective of the programme is to provide more opportunities for primary school students to play and learn football. We specially extend our programme to underprivileged children. The LTP programme is designed and conducted by Sports School coaches. Talented footballers from the LTP may be invited to come to Sports School for trials in Primary 5 and 6.
