Zurich Football Academy
Organization
The Zurich Football Academy (ZFA) is a privately organized football school with professionally trained and SFV-certified coaches.
​
The aim of the ZFA is to provide children and young people with a sound and targeted football education and to prepare them for the transition to an ambitious club. The ZFA works towards making a contribution to the development of Swiss football.
Target group
The ZFA is aimed at intrinsically motivated kids from the age categories of five to eight years and nine to 12 years, who are on one of the long waiting lists of a club or are looking for a holistic and professional soccer education as an alternative to joining a club.
The Zurich Football Academy is open to boys and girls alike, and training takes place in mixed groups in Zurich-Altstetten and Zurich-Albisrieden.
Unique Selling Proposition
The main differentiator of the Zurich Football Academy compared to similar institutions is the combination of proven training concepts of the Swiss Football Association (SFV), the use of new technologies during (technology-based exercises) and after (analysis, individual development plan) training, as well as a strict adherence to in-house values.
​
New training methods and technologies are continuously integrated into the operation and keep the training concept up-to-date.
The traditional "Zurich owl" also adorns the Zurich Football Academy crest. The lion represents natural strength and superiority, agility and bravery as well as inner calm and mental power. The coaches are proud to wear the "Zürileu" on their left breast and to represent the values of the Zurich Football Academy to the outside world with this crest.
Founders and Vision
Mike J. Herter
Mike became addicted to the most beautiful pastime in the world when he was five years old. He is the spiritual father behind the ZFA and bears the overall responsibility. Mike was himself a passionate soccer player at a higher amateur level and coached for several years at soccer clubs in the city of Zurich.
laura J. HErter
Laura not only fell in love with Mike at the time, but also with soccer. She takes care of the administration and is responsible for marketing as well as social media and event management. Laura used to work at the FIFA Museum in Zurich in the area of education and outreach for children and young people - and she loved working with those young football maniacs.
