A proper football academy for children — run by IVA Sports / IVA Football Club, Kochi on the floodlit turf at Fitnation Sports Hub, Onakkoor. AFC-licensed coaches, all equipment provided, and a genuine pathway from a child's very first kick to clubs, district and state teams.
The Academy
Every great footballer once took a first, wobbly touch of the ball. At the IVA Football Academy, we make that first touch count. Brought to FitNation by IVA Sports and IVA Football Club, Kochi, our academy gives children from age five a safe, joyful and seriously well-coached introduction to football — building not just skill, but confidence, fitness, discipline and friendships that last well beyond the pitch.
We coach boys and girls together, we bring the balls, bibs, cones, goals and gear to every session, and we hold every child to a high standard of coaching — the same standard that has helped IVA players go on to represent football clubs, district teams and even state teams.
Why Parents Choose Us
A structured, age-appropriate curriculum delivered by qualified coaches — on a professional-grade turf, with everything provided.
Our sessions are led by coaches holding AFC coaching licences — trained in modern, child-first football methodology, not just drills.
Purpose-built for young beginners. We start with fun, movement and ball-mastery games, then grow the football as the child grows.
Football is for everyone. Girls and boys train together in a supportive, inclusive environment where every child belongs.
Balls, bibs, cones, mini-goals and training gear are all brought to every session. Just send your child in shoes ready to play.
IVA has a track record of developing players into football clubs, district teams and state teams. Talent here is spotted and nurtured.
Sessions run on FitNation's fenced, floodlit artificial turf in Onakkoor — clean, cushioned underfoot and safe for little players.
The Coaching Team
Great youth coaching is a skill of its own — knowing how to teach a five-year-old is very different from playing the game well. Our IVA coaches are formally qualified and continually upgrading, including AFC C Licence certified coaches, so your child learns correct technique and habits from day one.
Beyond technique, our coaches are mentors — building young players' confidence, teamwork and love for the game. Leaders on the field, mentors off it, inspiring young players and building a bright future.

The Journey
A clear, step-by-step development pathway — every child moves at their own pace, and the talented ones are guided all the way up.
Ages 5+ begin with fun games, coordination and ball-mastery — falling in love with the ball before anything else.
Passing, dribbling, control and simple team play, taught with age-appropriate, structured sessions.
Small-sided games, friendlies and tournaments where children apply what they've learned and grow in confidence.
Standout players are guided toward clubs, district and state selections — the doorway IVA has opened for many before.
