The Academy admits players from 6 years Old to 24years Old.
The Program for the younger players between 12 and 18years old is to ground them in the basic skills and techniques of a professional footballer. Ball control, passing drills and shooting techniques are the major focus for this category of players.
The older players Aged between 18 and 24 years old are taught how to play in different football systems, execute coaching instructions and improve on their basic football skills. These players (as well as exceptional younger players) are exposed to high level competition like the Nigerian Football Federation Cup formerly called the F.A Cup. The Academy will also enter competitions such as the Boska Cup and The Oba’s cup in Lagos State where over 160 amateur and professional teams will enter each competition which is staged on a knock out basis. The academy players will receive good coaching and exposure before they are placed into professional clubs once their contract is up or the right club acquires them.
In the 2009 Federation Cup, Clique Sports Academy got to the round of 16 in the Lagos State regional playoffs. 60 amateur and professional teams entered the competition. The Academy knocked 3 adult amateur grass roots teams during the duration of the Federation Cup run.
The Academy did even better at the Boska cup made up of 160 teams in the state and got to the Quarter finals but lost on penalty shoot out to JAH FC after 1-1 draw was played in 90 minutes. The academy won a set of new team jerseys for the effort from the sponsors of the tournament BOSKA/Orange drugs.
