OUR CULTURE
IMS Academy is an extra football development programme designed to work alongside club football.
Players continue playing for their local clubs while training with IMS to receive more individual attention, more touches on the ball, and a development-focused environment.
Our goal is simple: help every player become the best version of themselves.
MS Academy is open to players of all abilities, from beginners to advanced players.
We work with players who are:
Starting their football journey
Wanting extra training outside of club football
Looking to improve technically and mentally
Wanting to build confidence
Aiming for higher-level football opportunities
All players start in the IMS Academy.
Standout players may be selected for IMS Select, our higher-level programme for players ready for more advanced training, individual development plans, player reports, workshops and potential national/international tournament opportunities.
IMS Academy is built around five key values:
Creative. Brave. Competitive. Humble. Winners.
We believe in positive communication, hard work, belief and helping players grow as footballers and people.
No toxicity. No negativity. Just a supportive environment where players can push themselves and enjoy the game.
