SC Manila Football Academy (Player Development Program)
The SC Manila Football Academy is the official development arm of SAS FC — a structured
training program designed for players who want regular coaching, clear progression, and a
professional-yet-friendly environment in Metro Manila.
All player development for SAS FC happens here.
Players who excel at SC Manila naturally progress into SAS FC’s competitive teams.
Our curriculum follows a modern, holistic approach built around four pillars:
1. Technique
Ball mastery, first touch, passing quality, and individual skill development.
2. Tactics
Game intelligence, positioning, decision-making, and understanding the “why” behind every drill.
3. Physical
Age-appropriate conditioning, coordination, injury prevention, and movement mechanics.
4. Mindset
Discipline, resilience, teamwork, and respectful communication.
We keep our training player-centered:
