The Future Player experience
Small group.
Big on detail.
Every player brings a different game. Their coaching should recognise that.
We work on the detail that matters to the individual: how they receive, move, create, defend and make decisions. Then we give them something clear to take into their own football.

Clear enough to use.
Personal enough to matter.
The player’s own portrait, pathway and coaching detail turn feedback into something they can return to.
- Understand it. Focus Card: development priorities and clear coaching cues.
- Try it. Six Match Missions: choose one or two practical actions per match.
- Talk about it. Record a few moments and send feedback to Oggy via WhatsApp.

For players. Clear for parents.
Good questions.
Clear answers.
Know what your player is working on, why it matters and how to support them.
Tell us about your player ↗Who is Future Player for?
Boys and girls aged 10–15 who want to work on their game. Tell us about your player’s football, experience and development goals so we can discuss the right fit.
How are the groups and pathways different?
Groups contain a maximum of eight players. The three pathways give each player an individual focus within shared practices and games. Players do not need to be separated into a different session for every pathway.
What happens between sessions?
Players receive a personal Focus Card and a separate set of six Match Missions. They choose one or two missions for a match, reflect on what happened and send feedback to Oggy via WhatsApp, with parent support. This keeps the learning connected between holiday sessions.
Does this replace club or school football?
Future Player is designed to complement the football a player already plays. The aim is to take a clear development focus back into their own training and matches.
Can we join now, and what does it cost?
The founding programme began on 28 October 2026. Register interest to discuss current availability, the right group and the programme fee before committing. Sending an enquiry does not book or pay for a place.
Where is it, and what should players bring?
Sessions take place at Torquay Academy Astro in Torquay. Bring footwear suitable for the astro, shin pads, a drink and clothing for the weather. Arrival details and any additional requirements are confirmed before attending.
Is this a Torquay Academy programme?
Future Player Performance is Oggy’s independent programme. Torquay Academy Astro is the training venue; FPP is separate from the school and Pro:Direct Academy.
