Elite Process
Our 2 year scholarship programme for 16-19 year olds gives aspiring young footballers the chance to combine football and education on a full time basis mirroring the schedule of professional football apprentices.
With over 100 full-time students enrolled to the programme, the academy is directed by a very strong leadership team with many years of experience in the professional game.
The Football
Players train four times a week and play in a weekly games programme working with UEFA/FA qualified coaches who have a proven track record developing players in the technical, tactical, physical, and social aspects of the game.
Training sessions and matches are recorded using veo technology, giving players/parents the chance to analyse their performances and develop.
All players have an individual pathway target for themselves and we have many exit routes available within many sectors of the sports and football industry from professional football to gaining a scholarship in the USA.
The Education
Students study the NCFE Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sports Coaching, equivalent to 3 A-Levels, delivered by our outstanding team of tutors.
Alternatively, A-Levels are offered to students with excellent GCSE grades.
GCSE's are delivered to students who previously failed in Maths & English at school.
In total, students receive 20+ guided learning hours per week.
