• One Coach = 25 weeks training
• Two Coaches = 30 weeks training
• Currently 20 years of age = Maximum 2 seasons in academy
• Currently 19 years of age = Maximum 3 seasons in academy
• Currently 18 years of age = Maximum 4 seasons in academy
• Currently 17 years of age = Maximum 5 seasons in academy

Please note these are basic calculations off of 16 weeks training data, averages can go up and down over the time players spend in the academy and will not take into account mid-season events that can have either a positive or negative effect on players actions.
