The programme was set up in July 2002 to enable young people to pursue their dream of playing professional football whilst also enjoying the advantages of furthering their education whether that is in a vocational or academic capacity. Our participants comprise of 1st (16-17) and 2nd (17-18) years there are 28 members of the squad. At the conclusion of their second year our aim is that the participants either progress into a higher learning institute, a career orientated work placement, or a possible career within professional football. All boys undertake their study requirements through our selected sixth form and are able to access both A-level and vocational courses providing they have met the specified grade requirements. They follow a full academic timetable which is run in tandem with a number of sixth form facilitated enrichment activities. Find out more information: http://aspirefootballuk.com/
