FirstPoint Launches New Partnership with Liverpool FC International Academies in US

3 min read

FirstPoint USA is delighted to announce an exciting new partnership with Liverpool FC’s International Academies in the US, which will see aspiring players being supported on the college soccer pathway.

 

One of the world’s leading clubs and recognizable names in global sport, Liverpool FC’s International Academy is its global youth coaching arm, delivering the same coaching curriculum and techniques that are used with the Club’s own young players at the Academy in Liverpool. Teaching young participants how to play ‘The Liverpool Way’ in countries across the world, the International Academy has centres in Texas, Louisiana, the Carolinas and Colorado, developing talented young players on and off the pitch.

 

Coaching programs are delivered under the guidance of the Club’s Academy staff, aligned to Liverpool’s core values of ambition, commitment, dignity and unity. Each Academy works with players on the five key areas of its long-term player development model: namely technical, tactical, physical, mental and social.

 

Each of the US-based Academies run camps and age group teams, with opportunities to travel to the UK on international trips to watch their heroes, and progress onto higher levels of the game. The International Academies will extend their player development model through the transition into college soccer and the collaboration with FirstPoint USA to build expertise into the player and family support program.

 

Albert Aguilar, COO & Co-Founder, welcomed the new partnership: “The collaboration with FirstPoint USA is a project we are really excited about, and we have seen firsthand what their team can provide to players and their families who have aspirations to play at the highest level of the college game.

FirstPoint’s staff bring fantastic insights and experience to our program, together with a vast network of college coaches which is second to none. We have been impressed with their personalized approach and attention to detail, which sets them apart, and our own teams are looking forward to working with them and seeing our players’ progress.”

 

FirstPoint USA’s CEO and Founder, Andrew Kean added: “We are thrilled to be joining forces with Liverpool FC’s International Academies in the States and it’s exciting to have one of the world’s most recognized sports clubs working alongside us.

 

“Our service is designed to guide players and families through the full college journey and our personalized approach has been very well received by many other leading clubs. It’s great to extend our talent pool to those coming through the Liverpool Academies and I’m sure our network of college coaches will be excited to see more potential recruits on our roster, emersed in The Liverpool Way.”

 

The new partnership will be kicked off with a series of educational webinars for players and their families, followed by assessment events led by FirstPoint USA’s experienced team of coaches and scouts.
