Our full-time Transition Year programme is designed for players who are serious about their football development. Taking place Monday to Friday from 9 am to 3 pm, the programme offers intensive daily coaching, tactical and technical development, and a structured academic timetable. Sessions are delivered by UEFA A and B licensed coaches and supported by professionals in areas like strength and conditioning, sports psychology, nutrition, and recovery. Players also receive mentoring, media training, and personal development guidance, reflecting the holistic nature of the programme. Participants compete in showcase matches and tournaments, gaining exposure to scouts and clubs both nationally and internationally.

The Tempo Training Zone is our development engine—a dedicated environment where players focus on specific aspects of their game in small, targeted groups. These sessions are designed to complement team training by zeroing in on areas such as first touch, ball mastery, finishing, 1v1 defending, and decision-making under pressure.

The Junior Academy forms the foundation of the Tempo pathway. It focuses on developing technical skills, game intelligence, and confidence through age-appropriate coaching. Players are placed into Development Select or Elite Select groups based on their level and potential. Weekly sessions offer small-group and position-specific training, allowing young athletes to progress at their own pace under the guidance of experienced coaches. Regular evaluations and feedback ensure that every child is seen, supported, and challenged to grow. Our Junior Academy is where future elite players are shaped—with an emphasis on enjoying the game while learning the habits of excellence.

At Tempo, we start early. Our Tempo Tots programmes introduce children aged 2 to 7 to the joy of football through fun, active, and engaging sessions. These sessions help develop balance, coordination, and social confidence, while also instilling a love for the sport. Children build familiarity with the ball and begin to understand the basics of teamwork, movement, and play. For many, it’s the first step on their journey through the Tempo system—and we ensure it’s a positive and inspiring one.

The Tempo Tournaments are a core feature of our academy calendar and an essential part of our development model. These high-level events provide players with real competition against top academies and regional squads, helping them apply their skills in match situations that replicate professional environments. Players are scouted regularly during these tournaments by League of Ireland clubs and beyond, and our staff use each event to evaluate and guide player progress. Tempo Tournaments are about more than just results—they are a showcase for development, resilience, and performance under pressure.

At Tempo Football, our showcase events are a cornerstone of our player development pathway. These high-level fixtures give our academy sides the opportunity to test themselves against professional academies, providing a true benchmark of their progress. We carefully curate each event to ensure competitive, challenging matchups that mirror the intensity and standards of the professional game. These showcases are not only vital for development—they also serve as key exposure opportunities, often attracting scouts and coaches from top clubs. It’s our way of bridging the gap between grassroots and professional football, and giving our players the platform they deserve to be seen and succeed.

At Tempo Football, we offer a range of camps designed to cater to players of all levels and ambitions. Our Tempo Camps are high-energy, fun-filled experiences open to all players, focused on enjoyment, skill-building, and fostering a love for the game in a supportive environment. For those seeking a more competitive edge, our Player ID Elite Camps are by invitation or assessment only, bringing together top-tier talent for intensive sessions led by our elite coaching team. These camps are designed to challenge and refine the game of players who aspire to reach the highest levels, often serving as a pathway into our academy or showcase squads. Whether it's for fun, development, or identification, our camps are built to inspire and unlock every player’s potential.

At Tempo Football, we offer a genuine platform for progression, with players regularly advancing to League of Ireland academies, earning international call-ups, and securing trials abroad. Standout success stories include Michael’s move to Brighton, trials with Rayo Vallecano, and multiple first-team debuts across the country. Through showcase events, elite tours, and strong scouting networks, Tempo creates real visibility for talented players — giving them every chance to be seen, supported, and signed.
