Community, Leadership, Mentoring, and Excellence in soccer development will equal maximum results no matter what the individual’s desire and potential. This coaching approach makes our players feel worthy, encouraging them to strive for personal excellence. They start to see their own potential as a player and a person, striving to reach their individual goals. Many of our players report that our Academy has made them “look differently at the game” and as a result, they look at themselves very differently.

Faly Academy is a bilingual Soccer Academy. All our coaches are French speaking and can deliver instruction in both French and English. All our coaches provide excellent European soccer skill instruction in both languages and are active coaches in French and English schools in the Lower Mainland of Vancouver, BC.

Faly Academy has a strong sense of community with all our players and families. Player, parents and coaches are truly united. Our training approach puts a smile on our players because we create “nurturing personalized learning” within our community of players.

We believe that a sense of belonging is key to all our player’s success. We welcome any player, at any level to our academy and there is a pathway of development for everyone. The pace at which each player develops will vary but no matter what the pace, our coaches will strive to help each player succeed.

At the Faly Academy our Director of Sports Medicine and Performance , Sean Campbell, and the elite team at Cypress Physiotherapy and Health are involved in the management of all aspects of athlete health and performance. They provide ongoing classroom and on field education and performance sessions for athletes of all ages and levels within the academy. They are also involved in injury tracking and management, travelling with the Academy teams, rehabilitation of injuries in clinic, return to play, concussion management and strength and conditioning. The Cypress group works closely with all of the academy coaches to ensure all academy athletes are healthy, safe and perform to their potential.

Each summer, the Academy will take selected Travel teams to Europe. The purpose of our yearly trips outside of Canada is to provide an opportunity for our players to be seen and evaluated, exposing them to a challenging and professional training environment, and to compete internationally. These life-changing experiences allow players to start to become more independent and gain memories that they will never forget.
