PLAYER AND COACHES DEVELOPMENT

Player Development

Coaches Development

We follow a holistic approach towards player de- velopment, with emphasis on their tactical and technical
knowledge, along with the players physical and social
development. The development process is divided
into two major levels - Level 1 (basic development
through regular training) & Level 2 (advanced training
through Development Squads).

BBFS values its human capital our current pool of

65 coaches undergo a special training program undertaken by our head of coach development, Stevie
Grieve. Our Coaches Development Plan facilitates
the coaches with a systematic growth plan for their
overall development as professional trainers along
with the opportunity to undertake AIFF certified license courses.
Going forward, we would like to provide our coaches
with the opportunity to interact with experienced
international coaches from youth academies across
Europe through participation in international club
tournaments, technical tie-ups, etc.

We provide the complete pathway for a player to

develop from an amateur youth to a professional
footballer, by giving them the right opportunities and
knowledge to realize their potential.

Indian Football Foundation

Indian Football Foundation (IFF) is dedicated towards changing the landscape of football in India through social programs that help open new avenues for social reforms and set a firm professional foundation for the sport.
With its involvement in Bhaichung Bhutia Football Schools (BBFS), we extend our support to aid potential, current young footballers and aspiring coaches. We also aim to strengthen the grassroots infrastructure of football
by striving to make available the best resources to facilitate its maturation in India.
Founded in February 2012 by Bhaichung Bhutia and the directors of BBFS, this non-profit initiative joins hands
with State Governments, child-centered NGOs and social groups across the country to fulfill its mission.

Our Mission
Our mission is to promote and develop the power of football in developing the qualities of leadership, sportsmanship, competitive zeal and the drive for academic excellence in Indian children by training at grassroots
level, irrespective of socio-economic backgrounds

We will fulfill this

By honoring, publicizing and providing financial support to underprivileged young football players who represent our ideal of the scholar athlete
By developing, managing and promoting model football programs and infrastructure which will further
strengthen the educational and character building qualities of young players
By continuing a grassroots movement, through local chapters, while involving football fans, coaches, educators, the media and former players in the implementation of the programs across India
