ISM has extended its technical collaboration to other professional football clubs, becoming their scouting center and the organization responsible for developing promising players.
Empoli F.C invests significant resources each year in its youth teams, which is why the “Talent Identification Program” plays a key role for the club. The goal of this program is to identify young athletes with outstanding technical and tactical abilities and guide them toward a potential contract with a professional team
The program takes place at the Monteboro facilities (official headquarters of Empoli FC) or at the location in Assisi.
Athletes have the option to enroll in the Empoli F.C. TIP program at one of the two available locations:
- Monteboro: official headquarters of Empoli F.C. (the athlete resides here for the full 9 months)
- Assisi: the athlete resides in Assisi for 7 months and spends 2 months at the Monteboro facility
1st phase
The player who enrolls in the “Talent Identification Program” (TIP) through ISM Academy, at the beginning of the program, will undergo a technical and tactical evaluation by professional coaches and will follow a specific technical program.
2nd phase
Players participating in the first year will have the opportunity to be registered with a professional club based on their age and the performance demonstrated during the first year. The partner club may officially register the player or potentially offer a professional contract.

Performance Monitoring:
ISM Academy will provide athletes with personalized reports twice per season, evaluating technical and tactical parameters to measure actual improvements. From the very beginning, technical and tactical weaknesses will be identified to offer athletes targeted training.
