What a change we've seen my 9yr son during the 10 months he's attended the Weds class and individual tuition sessions with KTA. Football wise, he was previously an athletic, defensive minded player whose impact on games was really only through his physicality. Now, he's able to join in faster paced possession football with older boys, make quicker decisions and enjoy scoring and setting up goals. He's a long way from being the most naturally talented of the players I've seen join the academy, but I hope his progress so far is testament to what top coaching and an ambitious approach can unlock and develop in kids of all abilities. Away from football, the knock-on effects of this on his wider self confidence have been so great to see as a parent and I'm certain that it's helped him apply himself with better focus and a more positive attitude at school. I'm hugely grateful to all at KTA... onward and upwards in 2018!

So Blake had his first session today and come away bursting with confidence, not only that he had a so much fun!! Not everyday u get to train with a pro goal keeper ’┐Į delighted is an understatement and he cannot wait to do more sessions with Ryan!! Thanks so much donŌĆÖt think I will be able to keep him away now ’┐Į thanks guys

User

Sam had his first session this week and absolutely loved it. It was a non-stop session with so much close attention paid to the way the boys were dealing with the varied exercises. He can't wait to get back to his next session.

You can see and hear how dedicated Kevin and his team are, I can imagine the difference it must make to players after a few months!

Phenomenal ’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į



Well......where to begin!



Tonight saw the MTC Park, Airdrie break itŌĆÖs record attendance for the arrival of the Kevin Thomson Academy staff!



The two KevinŌĆÖs were fantastic with the boys throughout the session and despite our larger playing squad they were able to tailor a bumper session to the numbers and player abilities.



Tonnes of videos and pics available on our own FB page for those interested.



An excellent education for boys and coaches alike! Positive coaching throughout focusing on technique, movement and sharpness.

Outstanding coaching, my 12 yr old son was new to football, but kevin and Ryan were brilliant with him aimed the sessions at his level, fantastic price for top quality, had time for parents as well.

User

My son jack attended Kevin's private session today and he loved every minute of it both him and his assistant do a fantastic job and jack can't wait to get back see u soon

User

My son Jack formed part of a group of goalkeepers with Boness united community football club training last night. Scott and Ryan, through Kevin's Academy were first class with the boys. Genuine, hard working yet a fun session. The guys showed a sincere interest in each boys development and utilised the time they had to a T. A key element that ticked every box for myself as a parent is that the guys picked up on jacks advanced technique and hoping during the next session he trains with the bigger boys. Keep up the great work Kevin and team. ’┐Į

User

My son Alex had his first 121 session today & absolutely loved it, he is already asking when we can rebook. The training was first class & of very high intensity. Kevin was fantastic with Alex & very encouraging. The training was non stop & great use was made of all the time allocated. Kevin's genuine enthusiasm for the game & for kids to develop in the right environment was refreshing to listen to. I would highly recommend the 121 session. We look forward to returning again soon.

User

My Daughter Aimee had a fantastic time today at her 121 session with Kevin. He was fantastic with her and very encouraging, giving her lots of praise when she done well. Kevin has a really genuine manner which made Aimee feel at ease and helped her get the most out of the session. Kevin uses every minute of the session really well. Aimee is really looking forward to going back for further coaching. Would highly recommend. ’┐Į

Kevin and his coaching staff do a great job with the kids with training them and most of all making it fun along the way which keeps them interested at all times. My son has been at KevinŌĆÖs Wednesday class for over a year now and my daughter has been going to the Monday class for a few weeks now and both think itŌĆÖs great fun and never hesitate to come in from school and get ready for the academy. Keep up the good work guys and all the best for the Christmas/New Year break.

Keep up the good work. Admire you for what you do, and what you did for rangers

I should be embarrassed at how long it has taken me to get round to writing a review! My son has been training with Kevin since February of this year and the difference both I and his dad have seen in him is amazing. Not just with his football but within his confidence. Kevin and the academy team are beyond outstanding. A hardworking and dedicated team who only want the best for all keen footballers. No drill is the same! The words of encouragement are bountiful and the smiles and red faces are a great sight to see after every training session. As a family we love KTA and my son even more so!

Hi guys had Kevin through tonight for tuition session with Petershill 2004s and have to say it was a great session and the boys loved it. Great to be a spectator for the occasion watching the boys all working hard. We have a great bunch of lads but Kevin managed to hold their attention for the full hour. Would recommend a session with him as new ideas can work wonders with these young football minds. Kevin thanks for taking the time to come through the boys enjoyed it. Even in the short space of time you had them remembering the boys names is something they will remember. Thanks again and keep up the good work with youth football. Cheers Allan

User

Harry had an absolutely fantastic time with Kevin - it was really great to see him training with such enthusiasm and concentration - from a coaching point of view the activities were ideal, I've never seen him so tired ­¤śē. Looking forward to our next visit.

User

Great one to one session with my son Ciaran today,he loved it.

Great tempo and fantastic drills really good for his devolpment ’┐Į

Will definitely be booking more sessions

User

Fantastic set up for kids of all ability who strive to be better & have fun doing it. Brilliant coaching from everyone involved.

KTA has been a great find for Marcus to allow himself to learn, make new friends, push himself to be better & most importantly have fun doing it!

Keep up the great work ’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į

User

Cody had his first session and totally loved it, a real positive experience and one I'd recommend for any player.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching, but the proof in how positive and enjoyable it is, is by cody coming off and first thing he said was "when can I come back".

And that's exactly what we'll be doing by organising regular sessions.

Looking forward to our next visit!

Thanks

Cameron has been going to 1-2-1 sessions with Kevin for a couple of months now and it is making a big difference on top of his normal club training sessions. The high intensity along with Kevin's attitude and experience are fantastic. Happy 1st Birthday to KTA!
