Sid Lloyd has committed his life to ensuring that the necessary infrastructures are in place to accommodate all who wish to play, learn or support amateur football in Japan. In his role as Managing Director of Footy Japan KK, he is devoted to the challenge of expanding the amateur, international football competition and education network in Japan and around the Asia-Pacific regions. A devout Liverpool FC supporter, the multi-faceted, multi-tasking Sid is as adept at coaching as he is at running a company. For a coach, having a sound knowledge of football\u2019s fundamental skills and techniques is a given – how these are communicated and demonstrated to kids from 3-years old and up is where Sid excels as a coach and leads enthusiastically by example. Sid currently plays for King George FC, in the Tokyo Metropolis League\u2019s 3rd Division – a league of semi-professional standard that he instituted and continues to organize. Sid, as a player, has also achieved some notable successes in professional small-sided tournaments in South East Asia. The most remarkable being an impressive victory against an opposition that included: Clive Walker (ex-Chelsea FC), John Barnes (ex-Liverpool FC\/England), Gus Cesar (ex-Arsenal) and the iconic Ian Rush (ex-Liverpool FC\/Wales). For Sid, football is not just a past-time, it’s a way of life.<\/p>\n

\u30fbBritish Football Academy – Coach
\n\u30fbEnglish FA Level 1 Qualified Coach
\n\u30fbHolder of FA Certificates in Soccer Parenting & Registered FA \u2018Soccer Star\u2019 Coach
\n\u30fbHigher National Diploma – Sports Science
\n\u30fbBachelor of Science – Sports Science
\n\u30fbEx-Reading FC Youth Player<\/p>\n

Magnanimous Dave Callaghan is a whirlwind of energy and probably one of the best-loved coaches at the Academy by the kids, and indeed some of their parents. His youth-team coaching in the UK, coupled with his professional and semi-professional football background – most notably with Reading FC\u2019s prestigious Academy – have certainly stood him in good stead with the myriad of weekly coaching duties Dave undertakes. He has a particular affinity with the younger-aged players and can\u2019t hide the paternal side of his gentle, yet highly audible and quintessentially British character. Dave\u2019s sessions are always, without question, high-octane, clamorous occasions that make you wish you were a kid again – but from a professional point of view there is always a great deal of outstanding (coaching) method in what a lay-person may misinterpret as utter madness. There\u2019s nothing Dave loves more than watching an attractive game of football, regardless of who\u2019s playing it. He has been quoted as saying he loves Paul Scholes because: \u201cHe can\u2019t tackle.\u201d And loves Roy Keane because: \u201cHe can.\u201d Take from that what you will!<\/p>\n

\n\u30fbBachelor of Arts – Politics & Philosophy<\/p>\n

When asked who Simon\u2019s favorite player was he answered: \u201cThierry Henry; because he has everything a player could ever want – speed, strength, composure, vision, great skill and he is an entertainer.\u201d Simon\u2019s analysis of Henry actually describes many of his own attributes as a coach at the British Football Academy. He\u2019s quick to think on his feet when it comes to tweaking his pre-planned sessions to cater to unforeseen circumstances, has a strong and passionate will to share his love of football with younger generations, is as composed as any other coach in the Academy when the pressure\u2019s on, has the vision to see how each of his sessions are linked and form a \u2018total football program\u2019 and possesses the skill as a coach to see each and every session through to positive fruition. Simon himself is also a great entertainer and during his sessions, as the kids play and learn about football, they do so with beaming smiles thanks to Simon.<\/p>\n

\n\u30fbCoach G Academy, Shanghai | Coach 2018 \u2013 2019
\n\u30fbEnglish FA Level 1 Qualified Coach<\/p>\n

Johannes is from just outside Hong Kong. He began supporting Man United after the 2002 World Cup and had already been kicking football daily with his mates in their compound, inspired by the famous Captain Tsubasa. He later played university football in Canton and Spain, and started his coaching journey in Shanghai, mainly working in international schools, before moving to Japan.<\/p>\n

Aiming to be more a guide than an instructor, Johannes approaches coaching by seeing the game from each child\u2019s perspective, focusing on learning, development, and bringing joy to every session. He speaks several Chinese languages natively and is fluent in English and Japanese. The name \u201cJohannes\u201d comes from his childhood football hero, Manchester United legend Ruud van Nistelrooy \u2014 it\u2019s his middle name.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/i><\/div><\/div>

\n\u30fbValley United SC, Mers Athletic Club, Canadian Academy Varsity Soccer – Player<\/p>\n

Half-French, half-Japanese and full of passion, Toma is the organiser of the Tokyo Metropolis League and Footy Japan’s competitions department. He used to work as head of the football department for the Nishinomiya Konami Sports Club. There he coached and organised practices for football classes catering to a variety of age groups before coming to Tokyo.
\nToma has coached preschoolers to adults in both Japan and abroad but one thing has remained constant throughout his years: getting all his players engaged and improving their mastery with the ball. This is why Toma\u2019s practices gravitate towards exercises that emulate game-like experiences while incorporating a maximum amount of touches on the ball.
\nAn advocate of positivity on the pitch, its no surprise that one of his strongest inspirations is Roanldinho, not for his aesthetic football ability but for his constant smile while playing.<\/p>\n
