About the team

Our new Girls and Boys Football Academies will commence in September 2025 for 16 to 18-year-olds. This will be open to students/players who are currently in Year 11 at school or in their first year of college.

They will be tutored and coached by professional coaches with experience of working at professional football academies, delivering a high-level professional education and coaching program.

The academy will be giving every player the opportunity and support to receive a high level of education and play football at the highest level they can.

They will train full time during the week and play games on Wednesday afternoons. They will be supported with a proper player pathway and in addition to playing for the academy team, will be encouraged to play at the highest level they can.

There will be partnerships and pathways with professional football clubs, universities, US Scholarships and employers offering lots of future career opportunities.

They will be playing in the National Youth Football League season 2025-26.
