The Nomads United AFC Pre-Academy was established in 2017 following the introduction of the National Club Licensing criteria and Skill Centre programme (SKC) by New Zealand Football. Nomads was the first club in New Zealand to achieve its club license, and have since developed into a leading club in this space across New Zealand.

The Nomads United AFC Pre-Academy focuses on improving players core skills required to play football within a supportive and engaging learning environment. 11-12 years is part of the ‘golden age’ of learning both technically and tactically for any footballer. This programme is aimed to accelerate the player’s development and unlock a higher potential as they advance toward Youth & Senior football at Nomads and beyond.
