Great players require great mentors. We treat coaching with the same rigor as the game itself, maintaining a structured, evolving development pathway for every member of our technical staff.

Our Technical Director, Jeddy Almeida, an AFC Pro Diploma coach, explains our philosophy. We believe football is a tool to prepare better human beings for life.

Technical Director Jeddy Almeida discusses our belief that we are an academy for coaches as much as for players. This video explains our commitment to upskilling coaches to improve the entire football ecosystem.

"If we develop the coaches right, we can develop the players." BFC's Head of Youth Development, Jason Withe, speaks during a Continuous Professional Development (CPD) event we hosted for our coaches.

We celebrate our U17 Head Coach, Abdullah Ansari, on being named 'Coach of the Year' at the DPDL League. This award reflects our focus on long term player development and coaching excellence.

Raising the bar for coaching standards. We congratulate Coach Prajwal Chandan on achieving the prestigious AFC 'A' License, showcasing his growth and determination within our academy.

Our Technical Director, Jeddy Almeida, served as a Coach Educator for the AFC B license course. This demonstrates our commitment to elevating coaching standards not just within our academy, but across the country.

A proud moment for the academy as our Senior Goalkeeper Coach, Raghuvir Khanolkar, joins the Women’s National Team as a goalkeeper coach for the SAFF Cup.

Recognizing our mentors. Congratulations to Coach Shoeb Sayed for being named Coach of the Month in August for his strong work ethic on and off the field.

Congratulations to Coach Kirk Johnathan, who was our Coach of the Month for July. We value and celebrate the dedication our coaches show every day.

Another step up for our coaching staff. We congratulate Coach Prajwal on his selection for the AFC A license course, a testament to his dedication and our academy's development pathway for coaches.

About The Coaching Philosophy: An Academy for Coaches

We believe the quality of a player is directly tied to the knowledge of their coach. This is why we host regular Continuous Professional Development (CPD) clinics with partners like Bengaluru FC, ensuring our staff remains at the cutting edge of modern tactical training and ball mastery techniques.
