“The five week taster sessions provided were very well organised and were planned to meet the needs of a wide range of ability. From week one sim-‐ ple skill sessions had immediate impact on both the ability and confidence of all pupils. All pupils really enjoyed the session and we intend to continue the club in September. Parent feedback was also positive with even more reluctant participants becoming enthusiastic and confidently participating by week 2”.
"I do not pretend to be a football expert myself, but little Anthony comes from a family of amateur and professional footballers, who have followed the Arsenal with loyalty and passion throughout the years. A player who mentioned he'd trained under you in the 80's is the great Tony Adams. He spoke with me at a fundraiser a few weeks ago and when I mentioned our son is training with you, Tony's face lit up! He was so pleased when I gave him your regards. He had nothing but words of praise for you and said Anthony is very lucky to be training under you."
Having a son very interested in football I have followed Protec Academy for a long time. I saw they were offering Talent ID days this season and registered my Son for a place. He successfully gained a place and enjoyed the training session very much.
He was also identified by a scout that was present which gives young talented players a chance that they may not ever have got. For Protec to offer this amazing opportunity to young children is so selfless and shows that they really do have players best interest at heart and they will go above and beyond to support, educate and offer any help they can! Thankyou Pete and the Protec team.

Luke started playing football at school and as he progressed through the Sunday Leagues in Long Lane South East London and Maidstone in Kent joining Protec and then signed Pro with Spurs.
Protec was a great experience for Luke. He says: "It is so good to have an education as well as football in your life when you're young.
Luke explains: "The experience with Tottenham was a great for me, but as sometimes happens they didn't extend my contract. However, they arranged for me to go to Lilleshall to do Exit Trials and scouts from all over the UK and Scotland were there.
Luke gained a contract with Bradford and went on to play and score in the first team and then returned to london after being transferred to barnet F.C .
At Protec you need to work hard - if you don't do the school work and the training you'll don't get played so you have to knuckle down. Protec is a great place to be, they don't make empty promises. If you go there and work hard, they will sort you out and you will make something of yourself."

“My little Anthony is always excited to come and thoroughly enjoys the training sessions. Your coaches are obviously very good with youngsters and are able to keep them focused for a long time. Having worked with children myself, to notice that not one single child seemed to lose interest or focus throughout the whole session. That is a feat in itself! I find the soccer school very well organised. You start and end the sessions on time, your coaches are professional and focused."
“My son Georgios has been attending Protec’s development and advanced centres for the last 3 years. The level of training at these centres is excellent and the coaching is outstanding. The coaches know each player individually, knows their strengths and weaknesses and works in improving their overall game play. He enjoys every session and has made many friends. He has made great improvement in his footwork skills and understanding of the game. The coaches at his Sunday club are constantly commenting on his improvement and vision of the game. Thanks for making Georgios feel like part of the Protec family!!”
