How Does Your Level Compare

Academies United is the international division of Primer Toque CF - a Spanish fútbol club competing against Valencia CF, Villarreal CF, CD Castellón, and Levante UD at the higher levels of the Spanish fútbol federation, with a formal partnership with Valencia CF.

This is a professional fútbol ecosystem. The same coaches. The same sessions. The same opposition Primer Toque CF faces every week. Not a program built around you. The real thing, as it exists.

Most players, teams, and coaches never get the chance to test themselves outside their own environment. Same league. Same coaching. Same level of opposition - year after year. The real question is simple: how do you actually compare?

Come and find out. Step inside the club, train and compete at this level - and you'll know. Not because we tell you. Because you lived it.

That's what every program here is built around.

What You Will Actually Take Away

  • How do I compare to players in Spain?
  • Could I compete in that environment?
  • What separates their level from mine?
  • What areas of my game need work?
  • Can I perform at that speed under pressure?
  • What am I actually missing?

Those questions get answered here. Real competition. Direct feedback. An honest read on where you actually stand.

Real growth comes from:

  • Faster tempo with less time and space on the ball
  • Deep competitive leagues at every age and level
  • Opponents who punish mistakes immediately
  • Training cultures centered on movement, scanning, and awareness
  • High match volume that reinforces learning through repetition
  • Environments where standards stay high regardless of who’s visiting
  • This is the difference between playing games and actually developing.

These demands aren’t abstract. They exist every day in specific fútbol regions shaped by long standing academy systems and competitive culture.

Why Academies United?

Academies United is the international division of Primer Toque CF - founded by Canadian entrepreneur Ryan Henry alongside club co-founders Jordi Masnou and Valero Fraile. Built by people who've worked across different fútbol systems and understand the gap between familiar competition and real development.

The idea was simple: give players and teams direct access to a Spanish club environment where the speed, pressure, and expectations are genuinely different. Not a program built around visitors. A real club, as it actually operates.

Founded in Castellón in the 2011/12 season, Primer Toque CF was built around one idea - good players make good decisions. The club competes at the higher levels of the Spanish fútbol federation, inside one of the country's most competitive professional ecosystems, with a formal partnership with Valencia CF.

In 2015, a ten-year-old Lamine Yamal won his first individual trophy at the club's own tournament, playing for FC Barcelona's youth academy. That's the level of competition this club operates within.

Academies United opens the door to it.
