In order to promote social and Charity activities ,Delche Group decided to establish a “foundation” in form of an academy to help and support to the society development through discovering,promoting of talents from infants/ young people especially orphans and the abandoned ones from the great lakes and Sub-Saharan regions of Africa
Vision
– To develop/groom home talented infants for the National team and future generation.
– We will recruit players chiefly from parts of Uganda and produce technically proficient physically capable players that are tactically astute and are able to perform in both the CECAFA Championships and Uganda National Top Leagues. The players will travel on a journey through a detailed football programme with outstanding coaches that focuses on the needs of both the individuals and team. With the support of the video analysis team the coaches will deliver clear accurate feedback around each game and training session. The players will receive the best medical care available and will also have both player specific and generic sports science plans that progress through the age bands.
– Using a psychology methods(programmes), we aim to produce rounded disciplined individuals with the support of all the staff across the departments within the Academy, preparing the players for life off and on the pitch. We also offer education services to guardians on key aspects so that they can help influence things like basic player support pre/post competition and nutrition.
– At the youth development phase we will provide a full time schooling program with a bespoke educational experience that provides a holistic learning environment for the players. This will allow the players to hit the desired number of coaching hours for maximum development and also expose the players to training at the optimum time of day.
Without discrimination basing on ages, we will ensure a high degree of on duty care focusing strongly on the players from disadvantaged backgrounds.
