The Senior Academy is the final phase of player development and is where the focus shifts to results driven performance. Emphasis is on teaching players how to be physically committed to the game, and how to get results. 

Small sided games are used to train the roles and functions of players emphasizing technical and tactical speed (decision making) by applying some tactical or technical restrictions in a competitive environment.  Shadow-training is used to develop full-game knowledge in positional and team play.

Technical / Tactical Development Ratio = 40/60 to 30/70

(Players continue to develop mastery of technical and tactical as the functional training of the three/four lines of the team continues)
