About Us
Born In Minnesota Forged By The Football Experience
We officially launched in 2016 as a result of the lack of perceptive soccer training and playing opportunities for youth. We strive to maximize the technical, and cognitive development of each player, and create a soccer environment that focus on player qualities, passion and aspirations. Whether you are new to the game, passionate about playing, or dreaming of a professional playing experience, rest assured we’ve been there and have used those moments to design an efficient development program.
Our Roots
Kizen Academy Football Club started in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2016. At that time youth development programs were ignoring “Silent Talents – players with small physique and lack of robust playing style- and focusing on the loudest players on the pitch. Emmanuel, Jermaine, Mo-Fit and William decided to create a perceptive training program that focus on technical skills, and perceptive play. We achieve this through a slow coaching education process; focusing on the player cognitive development with regards to the game. We also strive to strengthen positive values such as humility, effort and teamwork.
Kizen's Commitment
A strong emphasis on being intrinsic motivators.
Commitment to providing an environment that would enable players to grow and develop technical skills and be inquirers on and off the field.
Kizen Academy’s philosophy and activities are structured around play, position, and possession.
