There are a lot of different factors which don’t allow all our boys/girls to make it into professional academies. But that does not mean that the level of coaching you receive when involved in a professional set up should be exclusive. 

We want to make sure that these young players do not get lost in the system. Whether they have been released, had an unsuccessful trial period with a professional club, or just never found themselves to be noticed by these clubs, we want to help!

With the coaching we will have, the links in place with professional clubs, and the pathway we can put these children on, it is all geared towards helping them realise their potential, give them an opportunity and a quality football education which will set them up for life. The links we will have in place with these professional set ups will be the opportunity for these boys/girls to play in front of professional academy teams. The clubs we will be linked with will be looked at in a ‘parent-feeder club’ way. As a ‘feeder club’ we give our linked clubs first option on our players. They are free to look at, and speak to, the parents of any of the children we have at our academy about potential trialing, etc. With a convenient and trustworthy relationship like the ones we plan to build with the clubs we are linked with, it creates a perfect opportunity for these young kids to be noticed.

For us, it is an emotive subject that we have experienced and seen first-hand. Those that are not involved in the professional game and its hierarchy cannot affect what happens at a professional level, the politics, the procedure, the ‘done things’ etc. However, we can control what happens on the grassroots level to give our children the best chance of realising their dreams are not a million miles away.

Why is all this important? Because football is a strange game where less than tangible factors come into play, and negative experiences can turn hungry, football crazy kids into disinterested youngsters with tonnes of untapped potential gone to waste. And we are not prepared to let that happen!
