Are you serious about becoming a professional football player?
If you are passionately dedicated to achieving this goal, then we will
give you every opportunity to make it happen.
With our strong links with many UK professional football clubs and the
network of contacts of our FIFA licensed football agent, you will get the
very best chance to realise your full potential.
But you need to have exceptional talent, total commitment and never
ending motivation to become a professional player.
Have you got what it takes to succeed ?
Our philosophy is to protect your future and broaden your life choices by also
giving equal importance to developing your education.
Footballers today must look beyond professional football.
An injury can immediately end a career. You won’t always be at the top of your
game and so need to be ready for a change of job as you get older.
That is why you will also leave our academy with recognised
qualifications and a well-planned educational pathway.
And our unique and dedicated approach to welfare ensures that each one of
our staff takes a lot of care to develop you as a person, too.

Some of Our Football
Success Stories:
A Father’s Testimonial
"We had 2 goals coming into this
program :
find a safe; hospitable; loving (I use that
word because I felt every one of your
staff showed that to Quinn and myself
when I visited); professional environment.
Secondly, to secure some reputable
relationships with UK teams and
professionals that we could leverage for
the 2014 season that would trend us
down the path of scholarship football in a
professional football setting.
In my opinion, I think both of those goals
exceeded our expectations and I owe it
to you guys for helping us find our way
over this last year.
I want to personally thank you for giving
me the confidence that you always had
Quinn's best interests in mind.
You gave me total peace of mind that
he was always in a safe environment
where he was surrounded by well -
intentioned adults, who allowed Quinn to
mature at his own pace."
