World-Class Facilities
Training at the Axa Melwood Training Centre ensures that our players are immersed in an environment where excellence is the standard. This world-renowned facility provides everything you need to develop as a footballer, from top-class pitches and a 4G dome, to cutting-edge technology. We also use high-level 4G pitches around the Liverpool area to further enhance your experience.

Our programme is tailored to meet the needs of each player, challenging you both mentally and physically. We offer weekly team training sessions that focus on building tactical awareness, improving technical skills, and fostering team chemistry. Our coaches are experienced and highly qualified, bringing years of expertise at the highest level of the game.
Cutting-Edge Technology for Player Development
We use Veo Technology and Catapult One to record and monitor every training session and match. This allows our coaches to analyse player and team performance in real time, tracks your distance covered and heat maps, and offers detailed feedback to help you improve. In addition, our 360 Player App provides a comprehensive breakdown of your individual performance giving you an edge in tracking your progress.
Fitness and Sports Science
Our dedicated Sports Science team is there to help you maximise your physical potential. Players are regularly fitness tested to track improvements and ensure you’re always pushing yourself to be better. Our Strength and Conditioning (S&C) coaches focus on developing your power, explosiveness, speed, and endurance, helping you become a more dynamic player with fewer injuries.
Mental Strength and Psychology
Football is as much a mental game as it is physical. Our Sports Psychologists will guide you in developing a strong mindset, helping you stay focused, manage stress, and perform under pressure. Learning mental strategies is key to becoming a top player and performing consistently at your best.
Nutrition for Performance
Fueling your body the right way is essential to success. Our qualified nutritionists will teach you how to prepare your body for training and match days. From meal planning to understanding macronutrients, we help you make informed choices that will fuel your performance and recovery.
