APJT AcademyFootball Development · Thailand
Professional youth football development, founded and led by former Thai League forward Coach Abbas. We build players — and people — ready for whatever comes next.
The academy
Built by a pro, for the next generation
APJT Academy is a youth football academy in Thailand, founded and led by Coach Abbas — a former Thai League forward and FA Thailand ‘G’ Diploma coach. Every session is built on real professional experience.
We develop players aged 12–16 through structured, progressive training that grows technical skill, game intelligence and fitness — and, just as importantly, discipline, confidence and character. Football is the vehicle; better people are the goal.
Whether a player dreams of competitive football or simply wants to move, learn and belong, there’s a place for them here — and our door is genuinely open to everyone, including children with special needs.
Head coach & founder
Meet Coach Abbas
A former forward and attacking midfielder across Thailand’s regional leagues, Coach Abbas finished as top scorer for Mukdahan in the Northeast Zone of Thai League 3. Today he brings that striker’s instinct and professional standard to every young player he coaches.
He develops players to international standards in skill, discipline and life values — and has run free football and fitness sessions for children with special needs for two years running.

Programs that build players and people
Structured, professional coaching for teams, schools, academies and individual players — adaptable to any group and any goal.
Youth development
Our core program for ages 12–16: technical mastery, game intelligence and match play across three sessions a week, with every player tracked and challenged.
Private & academy coaching
One-to-one and small-group sessions for individual players and partner academies — finishing, ball control, fitness and the striker’s mindset, from a coach who played the position.
Inclusive & special-needs football
Adaptive football and fitness designed so every child can take part — building movement, confidence and joy, whatever their starting point.
How a session runs
A structured 90–120 minute session
Every training follows the same proven arc — warm up safely, master the basics, then put them to the test under match pressure.
Warm-up & stretching
Dynamic drills and reaction games — injury prevention and focus.
Technical mastery
Dribbling, passing and ball control to build individual skill.
Tactical & small games
Small-sided situations for positioning and decision-making.
Match play
Guided scrimmages that apply the skills under real pressure.
Cool-down & reflection
Static stretching and feedback to recover and review.
Dribbling
Close control and change of direction through cones.
Passing
Give-and-go, movement off the ball, sharp first touch.
Ball control
Receiving under pressure and quick changes of direction.
Shooting
Dribble-and-finish drills — the striker’s craft.
Football for every child
Inclusion isn’t an afterthought at APJT — it’s who we are. For two years, Coach Abbas has run free bi-weekly football and fitness sessions for the children of the Ban Kru Boonchu Foundation for special-needs children.
Cones and dribbling, goalkeeping, ball control, fitness games — every drill is adapted so each child can join in, move, and feel the win of getting it. It’s about confidence and belonging as much as football.
