The Academy is a National training centre based at AMF Sheffield, Firth Park. Sessions are held over a weekend once a month from October through to March (excluding December). 

Currently there is a three year curriculum which begins by taking Under-16 juniors from the Rankings and giving them a thorough grounding in the basics of the sport.

For those that do well there is progression to the second year courses which begins to work on basic mental skills, ball reaction and creating versatility. The final year, for exceptional students, focuses on more advanced mental skills, sports science and developing the player’s individual abilities that will prepare them for International training that may await them.

The Academy is admired and envied around the world for its ability to train champions.
