EFA UPDATE
As of yesterday evening the County of Orange decided to close down all youth
sports in Orange county with immediate effect
Due to the new updated County and State guidelines we have no option but to shut down European football Academy until
Further notice.
We are bitterly disappointed by this decision
but stand by the recommendations made to ensure the safety of our players and staff.
We will return as soon as the State and County deem it safe to do so.
Please stay safe and hang in there.
We will be back!!

“My objective is to provide sessions that maximize touches on the ball in a competitive individual and team environment. Therefore giving players the opportunity to learn the game while developing their individual skills, teamwork and passion.
Every player should aim high to become fundamentally sound using both feet when touching or striking the ball (control, dribbling, passing and shooting). The ability to motivate yourself each time to practice at a game like quality is crucial to development and success.”
