APFC Next: Implementation of a Game Model at Youth Elite Levels

Designed for professional coaches, youth academy coaches, academy managers, and heads of methodology, APFC Next focuses on implementing an 11-a-side game model at elite youth level. The curriculum covers offensive and defensive phases of play, positional and associative soccer, coded game situations, and training session design. Real-world examples drawn from work with CE Sabadell FC's U19 squad in Spain's top flight illustrate how the principles apply in practice, and participants gain access to a mentorship pathway to develop a customised game model suited to their own club or team.

The course is delivered entirely online and is completable within one month, with all chapters divided into shorter segments for flexibility. It is produced and delivered by Albert Puig Football Concepts (APFC), whose content has drawn endorsements from high-profile figures including former FC Barcelona Women's coach Lluis Cortés, Manchester City performance analysis coach Carles Planchart, and Houston Dash head coach Fabrice Gautrat. No formal qualification or external accreditation is specified for this course.
