our findings should reassure players from all soccer nations that an early start in a professional soccer academy is not a prerequisite for participation in FIFA?s World Cup.
Thoughts?
Jets Academy is dodgy at best. It a results driven cattle truck so the tracksuits can keep a job and an ego to wear it on. Lets not mention the corruption that went on recently. Jaffas had better lock the apparel cabinet from greasy fingers
Technically its quite average and not good for the kids to mature into good footballers. There's a bit of neppo thats well known around the town anyway, but what Academy hasn't got that. The comp itself is quite good if you like the fees & travel.
