In the 2016-17 school year, the Academy has 30 boys and 20 girls, ages 8–12, in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. Students are at the Academy from 9:00am–6:00pm, Monday-Friday, with football training in the morning, lunch at noon, and academic classes in the afternoon.[2] Core ProgramsEducationThe Academy uses football – the most popular sport in Liberia – as a positive-incentive mechanism to encourage student-athletes to attend school and improve academic performance.[3] FootballThe Academy delivers professional coaching and a comprehensive football curriculum that disrupts bad habits, introduces fundamental techniques, and encourages our student-athletes to "think the game" at a high level.[4] Gender EqualityThe Academy uses education and football to break down gender barriers. By studying and training with the boys – and often outperforming them both in the classroom and on the pitch – the Academy's girls have a sense of empowerment that they themselves vocalize.[5] Notable SupportersJill EllisMonrovia Football Academy hosted Jill Ellis, the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team Coach and 2015 FIFA Coach of the Year, in Liberia from November 29-December 2, 2016.
