IFG Macclesfield
Premier League Project
Academy Player University Pathway Project In Partnership With Macclesfield FC and University of Lancashire.
The Project:
Unique and elite-level football development
We’re proud to offer a unique and elite-level football development programme through our Premier League Project, specifically designed for players who have been released by professional clubs, from League Two to the Premier League.
This project provides a vital second chance for talented individuals to stay in the game and continue pursuing their footballing careers at a professional standard.
Players train daily in an environment that mirrors that of a professional club, with sessions delivered by UEFAqualified coaches, supported by expert-led strength and conditioning, performance analysis, recovery sessions, and a comprehensive competitive and showcase games programme.
Two Pathways.
One goal.
Project Pathways
We understand that every player’s journey is different, which is why the Premier League Project offers two distinct pathways:
Football & Education Pathway
For players who want to combine football with academic development, we offer the opportunity to study a three-year undergraduate degree at the University of Central Lancashire alongside the full-time football programme. This dual-career pathway supports long-term goals both on and off the pitch.
Full Time Football Pathway
Full-Time Football Pathway for those who want to commit solely to football, this option allows players to train, play, and live football every day, fully focused on their development and opportunities to re-enter the professional game.
