Falu BS Academy, known in Swedish as Falu BS Akademi, is the youth talent-development programme of Falu BS Fotbollsklubb, a football association based in Falun, Dalarna County, Sweden. The academy is designed to provide ambitious young footballers with structured training, competitive opportunities and a pathway towards senior football. It forms part of the wider club's commitment to developing local players and strengthening football in the Falun region. \n\nThe academy's current boys' development structure includes three principal age-group environments: P16, P17 and P19. These teams provide opportunities for players to develop their technical ability, tactical understanding, physical preparation and individual approach to the game. The academy aims to create an environment where players can progress according to their individual development needs while learning to work effectively within a team. Its philosophy places importance on football enjoyment, togetherness, commitment and continuous improvement. \n\nFalu BS Academy works with Hagströmska Gymnasiet, a sports-oriented upper-secondary school in Falun, to provide a more comprehensive football-development environment. This collaboration enables young players to combine their education with additional football training. The programme has included training in technical skills, physical conditioning, mental preparation and tactical development. The club has also promoted opportunities for players from outside Falun, including practical support arrangements for students who need to travel or relocate for their football and education. \n\nThe academy is led by an academy director and supported by coaches and other team staff. Benjamin Hjertstrand serves as academy director and has been involved in developing the academy's structure and training environments. For 2027, the academy has announced a revised organisation with three development environments named U1, U2 and U3. Johny Einarsson, Bawer Ibrahim and Samuel Styf Fors have been appointed as the respective head coaches. The revised structure is intended to provide more individualised training challenges and allow players to move between environments according to their development. \n\nThe academy is part of Falu BS FK's broader youth and community football organisation, which promotes participation, teamwork and personal development. Its long-term objective is to help young players reach their potential while creating a clear progression route into senior football.
