The PSG Academy Summer School gives young players the opportunity to train using methods inspired by Paris Saint-Germain’s youth-development approach.
Train the PSG Academy Way
Sessions combine technical practice, tactical exercises, game-based learning and friendly match play, helping students become more confident and effective on the pitch.
Players should be grouped appropriately by age and ability so beginners can build strong foundations while more experienced students receive greater tactical and technical challenge.
Football Coaching & Curriculum
Technique & Ball Mastery
Develop dribbling, close control, passing, receiving, shooting and aerial technique through progressive drills.
Tactics & Decision-Making
Improve movement, positioning, awareness and the ability to make effective decisions in game situations.
Teamwork & Match Play
Apply skills through team practices, game-based exercises and friendly matches while developing communication and sportsmanship. Publish specific PSG coaching credentials, group sizes and delivery standards only once they are approved for the 2026 programme.
What Players Will Learn
- Use stronger technique in dribbling, passing, shooting and ball control.
