Selected kids with exceptional talent will avail 100 percent scholarship at Steven Gerard Academy in Liverpool
India Khelo Football (IKF), a non-profit Football organization connecting Indian Football grassroots with the professional Football ecosystem, is rolling out the first-of-its-kind ProSoccer Global Workshop in India.
The Co-Directors, Premier League Scouts, and Agents, are coming to India to provide boys and girls (U-13, U-15, U-17, and U-19) with feedback and assessment to kick off their professional football journey.
Selected kids with exceptional talent will avail 100 percent scholarship at Steven Gerard Academy in Liverpool, the U.K., and will train and upskill themselves for a month.
Other than this, some selected kids will also get a direct entry to IKF Season 2 Pre-Finals and Finals at Ambedkar Stadium in Delhi, where multiple ISL and I-League clubs will come to scout best-in-class selected talent from across the country.
All participants will get a technical assessment report done by PFSA-certified scouts which will certify their abilities as a player.
India lacks the professional ecosystem to provide kids with the correct feedback and assessment of their game with a strategic and verified process. The workshop will assist kids in understanding their game better and bridge the talent gap through assessment, feedback, and counselling from the Premier League Scouts and Agents.
The process will follow a professional approach and begin with age and position-wise segregation, followed by drills and fitness, with matches for assessing social and tactical acumen. The feedback will continue during and after the sessions by Mr. Jimmy Hayes and Mr. Chris McGrath, Co-Directors of ProSoccer global, also Premier League Scouts with extensive 30+ years of experience.
