A serious, structured pathway for serious players.
Our Pro Development Program is a full-time football and personal development environment for male student-athletes aged 17–21. It is available Residential — living, training, eating, and growing together on our 6-acre campus in Tigoni — or Non-Residential, training to the same standard while travelling to and from campus daily. This is not a holiday camp or a part-time program. It is a real pathway, built for players who are serious about going professional.

Residential OnlyWhat a professional training week looks like
This is the daily training structure followed by residential players. Non-residential players follow the same training, individual sessions, and video analysis on training days — arriving and departing campus around the same core training windows.

Meals, accommodation, evening study time, and weekend residential activities apply to residential players only. Transport arrangements and any add-on costs (bus, kit, etc.) are confirmed at registration.
Building the complete person
Every week, all players — residential and non-residential — participate in a dedicated mental conditioning session. At TTA, we believe developing the mind is just as important as developing the body. Sessions focus on resilience, confidence, leadership, emotional intelligence, goal-setting, and life skills — qualities that serve players long after their football career ends.
“We build the whole person, not just the athlete.”
