Sports - İstanbul, İstanbul, Turkey
At RIFA we pride ourselves on inspiring and motivating each player to reach their potential on and off the field, playing as a team, working hard and never giving in. Working together, always believing in yourself, and most importantly having fun are the core traits and philosophy of a RIFA team. By guiding our players through our extensive training programs delivered by our UEFA licensed coaches, combined with over 20 years of playing and 10 years coaching experience, we develop young players' technical skills and passion for the game to ensure they become the best players they possibly can. Playing and training the RIFA way means that we teach players how to build up a range of movements and techniques related to the modern game. Coaching sessions are designed to allow repetition of these fundamental actions in a fun and exciting way and to challenge and motivate players at all times. All RIFA activities are directed towards the developmental age of the child by building a positive rapport with all players. Programs are challenging but achievable, guaranteeing that each child leaves our academy with a raised self-esteem, improved football skills and most importantly, a sense of fun and enjoyment. At RIFA Academy we welcome children of all abilities. Whatever their level, we help players to develop the courage and confidence to express their ability in games and an understanding of how to learn from their mistakes, which for young kids is very important. At our academy it doesn't matter which team a child supports, we just want everyone to have fun whilst learning to play football the RIFA way.
