Client case

Premier League

In 2012, Double Pass and the Premier League worked together to optimise the English youth academies and ultimately their players potential. Together we created the ‘Elite Player Performance Plan’ also known as the ‘EPPP’.

The EPPP is a long-term vision with the aim of giving English football the ability to create the best academy system in the world. It allows clubs to produce more and better quality home grown players. Together with Academy Managers, Premier League clubs, the Football League, the FA and other important stakeholders we have created this ambitious project. The Academies were audited by Double Pass and afterwards they have been put in one of four categories. The highest category will give clubs more funding to extend its elite environment and make more strategic decisions.

One focus of the EPPP is to allow players more time to practice with their coaches, as well as encourage the links with local school to not only aid the players in their development as a footballer but also to help to take care of young players from an academic point of view.

What our clients say

"We were independently audited by world renowned auditors who have worked with the EPL, MLS, Bundesliga, etc. and achieved a score of 88% which was the highest in the country and significantly above the European average where the percentage is in the mid 60’s. This was a fantastic achievement, which we wouldn’t have been close to achieving 5 years ago, but every day we push on and we look to get better again."

“It was a privilege for all of us to leave our comfort zone and day-by-day operations to share our thoughts and experiences, to define and formalise our way of working and to cross check it with the international expertise of the dp consultants. After each visit we received new assignments, which were followed up closely by dp experts. The dp approach is clearly the best way to define, implement and evaluate improvements to the club and academy operations.“
