Goals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At the Escola de Futebol Prof. Augusto Moura Jr., football is the starting point \u2014 not the only destination. Our main goal is the sporting and civic development of our students, helping them grow up healthy through regular sport, in a safe and structured environment.
We value fun as an essential part of learning \u2014 it’s through playing and laughing that children build the love of sport that will stay with them for life. But fun goes hand in hand with discipline: it’s the small habits of responsibility, punctuality, and respect that shape not only better athletes, but better people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also in training sessions and matches that our students learn one of the most important lessons sport can teach \u2014 working as a team, trusting their teammates, and putting the collective ahead of the individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the Football School plays a key role in building the future of Clube Uni\u00e3o Micaelense: developing athletes capable of, over time, feeding into the club’s competitive age groups \u2014 and, for the most talented and dedicated, perhaps one day wearing the first team shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Structure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Beyond Clube Uni\u00e3o Micaelense’s own management and technical structure, the Escola de Futebol Prof. Augusto Moura Jr. is made up of a Director, a qualified Coach responsible for each group, and a wider team of other young staff members completing the technical team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the school has the full support of a team from Clube Uni\u00e3o Micaelense for administrative management and for managing training spaces and equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

School Groups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Escola Prof. Augusto Moura Jr. is organised into three groups according to students’ age groups. For the 2026\/2027 school year, the groups will be:
UNIS GROUP<\/strong> | Children born in 2022 and 2023
PETIZES GROUP<\/strong> | Children born in 2020 and 2021
TRAQUINAS GROUP<\/strong> | Children born in 2018 and 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Beyond regular training, students at the Escola de Futebol Prof. Augusto Moura Jr. will also take part in:
Get-Togethers (Conv\u00edvios)<\/strong>
Promoted by the Ponta Delgada Football Association (AFPD) and organised by different clubs across the island, these get-togethers are held monthly. In these events, known as “Petizes Get-Togethers” (morning) and “Traquinas Get-Togethers” (afternoon), our students are split into teams and play several short matches (around 8 minutes each) against other clubs, in 3v3 (plus goalkeepers) format for Petizes, or 4v4\/5v5 (plus goalkeepers) for Traquinas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results are not recorded \u2014 what matters most is the opportunity to play, learn, develop, and have fun together.
Given their age, our Unis group students do not take part in these get-togethers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commemorative Days<\/strong>
The Escola Prof. Augusto Moura Jr.’s Annual Activity Plan includes a number of initiatives throughout the school year, including Halloween, Christmas, Carnival, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day activities held during training sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
