You dream about something like this. It's absolutely staggering. It's really a dream fulfilled. It's just mind blowing. The futures really exciting. Today is not about celebrating the finish of something. What we are celebrating today are the opportunities that we have created for ourselves in building this Academy. That decision many years ago to have one campus, everybody in one place, I think was unquestionably one of the best decisions we we took. And I think the results are clear, clear to see in every aspect of football at the CFA. Fantastic rides for Manchester City women as far as they're concerned greatly crowd here with the Academy Stadium. History is made in Manchester. There is a new name on the WSL trophy to win. Our first league trophy. So amazing. The 2016 WSL Continental Cup winners. The manager? Pep Boys. Good morning to everybody that was for staying here. The CFA meets the absolute needs of the club, but also there's a very clear community focus. Ohh, get it, Get it, really, you? And that is an exquisite lock. Join any game. Young kids kicking a football about on the street should aspire to be part of a training camp and an Academy, and they should be able to see that and touch it and feel it and smell it. The new signings, the new shirts. The weekend of the 20/23/24 WSL season. What a strike and what a goal. I'm very excited for woman's team to have their own new facilities. Louis last bit of footwork as she shouts. Already scored. That's just the city, it shouldn't be that England, this mosaic to keep you part of the history of this club. Flower that's out there. Yeah, Thank you. I'm very happy to be here. Another great take by Robertson. Their facilities, our next Synon. Pierce, Phil Foden and the Stockport lad has come to Manchester City's rescue. We actually wanna be creating good people. Alec Williams, MBE community bench. And this Manchester City winning machine just keeps on rolling. You look at our record over the last five, 6-7, ten years, pretty consistent in every age. Mcatee's trying to burst clear here. He's got to it and he's got this is a home for us, it's a home for the people in Manchester, It's a home away from home. Morning guys three seasons in a row. What an achievement when people work in a more integrated. There is a team, then you get greater success. Lot of sweat drips on the grounds of this facility. That's when we'll be successful. Steph Houghton has an out. She will retire from football at the end of the season. Hello, it's nice to meet you. Manchester City's under eighteens have won the Premier League Cup. What's really important about this place is the fact that it's open to the community in a controlled way. Looking. Keep looking, keep looking. Great. You're right with the chance. Killing scorch. We have something here, we can keep it. Funny show. Yeah. Two for city. This football club is all about the people, this is their club. First. Ohhh, yeah, here we go. Ohh. We saw them leave the training ground, didn't we? Just before 1:00 this afternoon. The work in Manchester is done, the bus taking them to the airport. The vision was always about. Building for the future How do we create a club that's going to be here in 100 years?

Working on CFA and the adjacent Beswick community hub was a huge career highlight! Great days working out of the project office in the Etihad! CFA is an amazing facility, which has got better over time, especially the landscape and habitats that have been created on a contaminated industrial site!
Such an incredible facility not just in football but in sports. It great to see how the academy has expanded and will develop for years to come. To a sustainable future! #mancity
In basketball, scoring might get the glory, but it's the defense and blocking that often secure the win. Effective defense disrupts the opposing team's flow, while strategic blocking can turn the tide of the game.
Here are a few key points:
🔹Anticipation: Great defenders read the game, anticipating the opponent’s moves
🔹 Footwork: Staying light on your feet allows quick lateral movements and maintaining balance.
🔹 Communication: A solid defense is built on constant communication with teammates.
🔹 Timing: Blocking isn't just about jumping high; it’s about timing your jump perfectly.
🔹 Mindset: Defense requires relentless energy and a never-give-up attitude.
