This is a tryout programme to become part of the academy's annual training team - it is not a direct tryout for a professional football team. It is designed for players who are looking to improve their athletic performance in order to reach the competition level required to make the leap to professional football.
The most prominent students from the academy's annual programme will have the chance to attend tryouts with professional or semi-professional football teams, but this will only happen once the training staff deem that they have all the necessary technical and physical skills and are mature enough to take the leap into a career in professional football.

About the Academy
The academy is located in the city of Evian, in French territory but very close to Geneva, Switzerland. Its mission is to prepare talented international players to compete at the highest level and provide its most prominent students with recruitment opportunities from football clubs in Europe and the rest of the world.
The academy has its own football club, Thonon Evian Grand Genève FC, which competes in the professional national divisions of the FFF (French Football Federation) and has over one thousand enrolled players, both in the youth and adult categories.
Training Programme
In this programme, students get to experience what it is like to be part of the academy.
They join the training sessions of the academy's annual team, with about 3 hours of training per day, and they also attend academic lessons. During this period, the academy's coaching staff will analyse each student to determine if they are skilled enough and have the right attitude to be selected for a long-term training programme.
Training includes both technical and tactical sessions, as well as physical conditioning sessions at the gym, video analysis, and/or meetings with the academy's sports psychologist.
Those who choose the 5-day package will also receive a comprehensive performance report from the academy's technical staff.
