WELCOME TO EFFORD ELITE ONLINE ACADEMY
Yo..
If you’ve found yourself on this page, it’s NOT by accident.
Growing up in the USA without access to a professional academy was one of the toughest challenges I faced. Every day, I pushed myself in training, not even sure if I was on the right path.
Meanwhile, I knew kids in Europe and those scouted by professional academies in the States were developing faster, making my dream of playing professionally—or even signing with a D1 college—feel nearly impossible.
That struggle inspired me to create one of the first Online Football Academies, designed for young players who aspire to train at an elite level—beyond even what many pro academies offer.
I’ve poured my experience and knowledge into these programs with over 10+ years of professional experience in Europes biggest clubs, and constantly refining them to provide the most effective and up-to-date training methods.
My goal is to ensure you have the tools to succeed at every stage of your career.

More about the Founder
Joe Efford
My name is Joe Efford and I never played in a professional academy before. By the time I was 14, I had only made it to my youth amateur team, and I was sitting on the bench. But I knew what I wanted out of my life, BUT BEING AN AVERAGE CLUB PLAYER.. I knew that I had to put in the work and fast. So I dedicated my hours to improving at a much quicker rate than my teammates, which led me to getting scouted into Spain at the age of 18, at the same club and team as Marco Asensio, after that I went on to play 10+ Years of professional football across Europes top flights.
Now I am here to give away all my secrets, wisdom, and experience that I bled, sweat, and fought for.
