We're forming new Claret and Blue squads, and the way in is one free session.

Free squad trials, Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th of August, for boys and
girls born 2008 to 2019 who live and go to school in Bangkok. Any level of experience.

Your child trials in a live EPA session on FIFA-grade, fully covered pitches.
Whatever happens next, that session is theirs.

Sessions run across both days, from 10am to 5pm. The 3pm to 5pm sessions are
girls-only, on their own pitches, and girls are welcome in every other slot too.

Selected players join EPA on standard programme membership. There's no separate
squad fee. Places are confirmed by Friday the 4th of September.

Then in September, Paul Konchesky is in Bangkok for the squad days on the 11th,
12th and 13th. Paul played for England, West Ham United, Leicester City and
Liverpool, and managed West Ham United Women in the WSL. When every session is
done, Paul and Kevin pick the new squads together.

Places are confirmed in the order registrations arrive, so please don't leave it late.

The Claret and Blue are back tonight.

West Ham United begin their Championship season away at Burnley, and here in Bangkok we'll be watching. We have been in partnership with the West Ham United Foundation since 2018, and supporting a club means every season, not just the good ones. Same colours, same values, half a world apart.

Enjoy the new season, wherever you're watching. COYI ⚒️

สุขสันต์วันแม่ Happy Mother's Day to all of our EPA mums.

To the mums who drive through Bangkok traffic to training, who carry the water bottles and the boots, who cheer the quiet wins and soften the hard days: today is yours.

Our players don't get here without you. Neither do we.

With love from everyone at EPA. 💛

Meet BEFA, the newest part of our community.

BEFA is our sponsored community academy: up to 24 fully funded squad places for talented local players, coached to European standards, taught entirely in Thai, and at no cost to their families. Every child deserves a pathway, not just the ones whose parents can afford one.

Next Saturday we'll share how you can be part of it.

The Fanzone was back last night and it felt like it had never been away.

Parents, friends and colleagues on the pitch, live music beside it, and the academy full of noise on a Thursday night. It has become one of the best evenings of our week, and it belongs to our families.

This is what an academy should feel like. Everyone plays, everyone belongs.

You might notice our coaches ask a lot of questions during sessions. What did you see? Where was the space? What would you try next time?

It would be quicker to just tell them the answer. But quicker isn't the point. When a player works something out for themselves, they own it. It turns up again next week without being asked. That's the difference between copying and learning.

So if your child comes off the pitch full of thoughts rather than instructions, nothing has gone wrong. That's exactly what we're building.

Trust the process.

Summer Camp is in its final stretch, and this is what it has all been about.

Thank you Roxzane, and thank you to every family who has been part of camp this summer. Word of mouth built this camp, and that means more to us than any advert ever could.

There's still time to join us for the final week. Message us on LINE .

Some news we are very proud to share.

Our founder Kevin Tarrant has written a book. Beyond the Classroom: The Educational Power of Competitive Sport is out now on Amazon, in paperback and on Kindle.

It's everything we believe at EPA in one place: that competitive sport, done properly, teaches children things a classroom never can. Resilience, focus, how to lose, how to try again. The whole player is the whole person.

If you've ever wondered why we coach the way we do, this is the why.

A new Academic and Sports Season starts this month, and with it every EPA player gets a fresh Individual Development Plan.

So what is an IDP? Think of it as a roadmap, not a report card. It has three lines. The focus: one skill or behaviour, chosen with your child. How we measure it: something a coach can see in training. What we're expecting: what it looks like in a real game, written in plain English.

One focus at a time, reviewed monthly, and always visible to you in the EPA Portal.

Over the coming weeks we'll walk through the six areas a focus can come from.

Questions? Ask any coach, or message us on LINE .
