Overview
Our aim at BAA is to create a safe and enjoyable environment, in which, players are free to express and improve themselves through football.
We plan to do this by:
- Coaches and technical staff with current licenses (UEFA, Scottish FA, English FA, SCARS, CPR etc).
- Great facilities (3G Turf Pitch, Gym & Street Football)
- Bi-directional communication between players, parents, coaches and administrators.
- Mid and full season player assessments
- Age appropriate programs and practices, including agility/coordination, technical and positional play and tactical preparation.
- Modern teaching tools that engage players and parents through diagrams and video through our website and media alike.
- Competitive matches in the BFA League
- Football programmes for age 5 and older
- Respect for all players
With these and many more examples, we aim to improve all players' technical ability, as well as, their quality of life and character through football
Focus for our Under 9s (Beginners)
- Developing basic coordination, balance and agility
- Basic technical areas of the game (ball mastery, passing, shooting, etc.)
- The rules and objectives of the game

- Enjoying their football while taking responsibility for their own development and improvement
Focus for our Under 11s & 13s (Intermediate)
- Advancing to SAQ (speed, agility & quickness)
- Advancing their technical skills, as they can mentally deal with repetitiveness
- Intro to the more tactical side of the game (formations, how to hold a line/block etc.)

- Enjoying their football while taking responsibility for their own development and improvement
Focus for our U15s (Advanced)
