Elite Squads
Hardworking and talented players can be invited to join our squads, to play competitive matches against other teams. We have strong teams at ALL ages, as well as good girls’ teams, so there is real opportunity for exceptional players to keep developing right through to the top level. We have a great track record in the HK Junior Football League, HK Junior Sevens Cup, Adidas Cup, etc. Every year we take teams to overseas tournaments in places such as Singapore, Bangkok, and Borneo. At U13-U18 we also coach combined KCC and HKFC teams in the HKFA Leagues.
GIRLS ONLY SQUADS
We have a thriving programme for girls, who regularly compete in competitions in Hong Kong and abroad. Several of our girls have played in their age-group for the HK national side! Although girls are welcome to train with boys and be selected for our main squads at any age, many prefer our girls only training – which we run in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. The same commitment from players and parents is needed in the squad programmes for both boys and girls.
THE BEST YOU CAN BE
All our squads are for players (and parents) committed to becoming the best footballer that they can be in Hong Kong. We ask for a full season commitment and can’t accept players who cannot make training or games. Likewise, once accepted into our squads we are committed to you for a whole season. Squad players should ideally train 2x per week plus regular weekend matches.
PATH TO SUCCESS
It’s tough to get into our squads! Only about one in ten of our students make our elite squad program:
– designed to get players performing at the highest level they can. For our most outstanding and ambitious players, we can offer a realistic path to sporting scholarships or professional sport:
– We have had players move to US universities with sports scholarships.
– We have established connections in the UK and Germany for players with the potential to play professionally.
– We have good links with local professional clubs and are well-known in Hong Kong’s football community.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
At APSS we have developed 6 philosophy points in order to develop our squad players. These points come from the principals of play which dictate successful football performances.
We believe this gives our players the foundation to understand how to play the game.
