Welcome to the Cork Player Development Academy.

The PDA was set up to focus on the technical development of players and to help increase their football contact hours each week. The Cork PDA is for all children (boys or girls) from U9's to U16's regardless of which club they play for around Cork.

Our three head coaches who are ex-professional players are Joe Gamble (Irish Senior International), Craig Donnellan (Irish U19 International), & Mark McNulty (Cork City FC Goalkeeper).

Our main goal is to provide opportunities to young football players to achieve their goals.
