The first week of our Wolves Academy Development Camp kicked off an incredible two-week journey of learning, growth, and fun for players across Houston. Morning sessions were led by a trio of top-tier coaches from the Wolverhampton Wanderers FC Academy — Joe Hunt, Ryan Griffiths, and Cody Harper — who brought a unique Premier League edge to our local training environment.
From the first whistle, the energy was electric. Players were immersed in high-tempo technical drills, small-sided games, and detailed one-on-one feedback that mirrored the same methodology used with elite youth prospects in England.
Premier League–Style Coaching in Houston
Throughout Week 1, the Wolves Academy coaches focused on building a foundation in:
Ball mastery and footwork
Decision-making in tight spaces
Attacking movement and creativity
Defensive shape and discipline
Confidence and communication on the field
Every session emphasized positive habits, sharp execution, and hard work. By the end of the week, the improvement in player confidence, control, and mindset was obvious — and we couldn’t be prouder of how each player responded to the challenge.
Celebrating Growth and Effort
On the final day of Week 1, each player received a personalized certificate and took home a photo with their coaching group — a proud moment that captured the spirit of what this camp was all about: effort, development, and enjoying the game.
Special thanks to Westlake Lutheran Academy, our official camp sponsor, for supporting youth development and helping bring this experience to life.
The Most Improved Player Award was presented to Luke H. — a well-deserved recognition for a player who showed remarkable growth over the week.
