P.A.S.S. academy
“I didn’t know what to expect from my sessions at PASS, but from the first drill I was very impressed at the level of detail and knowledge that the guys here had. After close to a year out of football due to injury I went to them before pre season to help with my football specific fitness and by the time pre season came I was shocked at how good I felt.
The standard of 1 to 1 drills was top drawer with tough sessions made easier by the passion and enthusiasm that the coaches have, making it a lot more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be doing sessions in the future and highly recommend these guys no matter what level you play,whether you take football seriously or play it for the enjoyment..”
