Chattanooga FC Academy is excited to announce a new player development partnership with a renowned former skills coach who worked 4 years with Chelsea and 7 years with Tottenham youth academies in the English Premier League. He then spent nearly 20 years as a private coach to some of the world's best players.

Saul has a track record of working with players who have gone on to play football for Academies, Professional Football and also their national team.

The app will allow our players to master core technical skills, develop technical body movements with and without the ball. If players will commit to using it, the app will improve game understanding and decision making to have a more positive impact.

All Coaches get access to the Coach’s Pass, which is a leading online coach resource with hundreds of videos of skills and drills.
