LALIGA Weekday Academy in KL
Following the success of our Weekend Academy at SMK La Salle PJ, LALIGA Academy Malaysia now brings the same LALIGA coaching framework to weekday evenings. Players train under official LALIGA methodology, delivered by our Technical Directors from Spain, right after school.
The LALIGA Standard, Now on Weekdays
The LALIGA ACADEMY Malaysia KL Programme at SMK La Salle PJ brings the same professional football methodology and player-development philosophy of LALIGA ACADEMY Malaysia to the heart of Kuala Lumpur. With a newly renovated football field and a dedicated training environment, the programme gives players a high-quality pathway to develop their technical skills, football understanding and confidence.
As a sub-programme of LALIGA ACADEMY Malaysia at Epsom College Malaysia, the Weekday Programme keeps the same commitment to structured, professional coaching. Through regular training and competitive match play, players apply their skills in realistic game situations and keep progressing within the LALIGA ACADEMY Malaysia pathway — technical mastery, tactical intelligence and match confidence, built session by session.

What Our Players & Parents Say
I loved the variety of training contents, the detailed feedback and intensity of the week with the coaches.
Coach Diego is exceptional. His real-time feedback during matchplay has been instrumental in refining my son’s tactical understanding. He steps onto the pitch with noticeably more confidence now.
LALIGA is a brand built on trust and elite performance, and it shows. The Spanish coaches were incredibly sharp and dedicated right from the first trial. It’s also a fantastic community—connecting with other passionate parents pitch-side has been a great bonus.
Finding an academy with a structured, comfortable environment for girls can be challenging, but LALIGA Malaysia has delivered. My daughter’s skills and confidence have skyrocketed, and the tactical feedback she gets during matches is invaluable.
