2009FoundedKuzgun Football Academy
An academy that measures progress, not just results
We started in 2009 with two pitches in Bornova and now serve more than 640 players across four facilities. Each age group's curriculum follows the national federation's youth-development guidelines; below age 12 the focus is on a player's relationship with the ball and decision-making, not on match results.
- Age groups planned by birth year
- End-of-term development and fitness test report
- Child-protection policy and first-aid-certified staff

Measurable progress
Sprint, agility, balance and technical tests are run at the start and end of every term, and parents receive a written report.
A safe environment
Camera-monitored facilities, health screening, player insurance and a child-protection policy are standard.

Our U12 and older squads play in regional leagues, with more than 20 friendlies and tournament games each season.

Parents
Our parents speak
Three years ago my son could hardly control a ball; today he plays with confidence. I like the end-of-term reports most — we see concretely what has improved.
The coaches truly know the children. Lowering the load and adding strength work during my daughter's growth spurt let her finish the season injury-free.
My two children are at the same academy and the sibling discount balances the fees. Online payment and schedule notifications have made my life easier.
