Andrea Pirlo

Do you want to continue your education, play football and study sport at the same time? If you are currently in year 11/12 or aged 15-18 and wondering what your future holds…..G3A have a unique opportunity that will allow you to play, train and compete like a professional footballer.

We work with professional and semi professional football clubs to offer young players an opportunity to develop their game and continue their full time education through our professional and comprehensive scholarship & education programme. We combine preparation for a career in sport with an academic course appropriate to their needs and aspirations. Our unique programme engages the players practically and academically. On our course you will complete a BTEC Sport alongside another A Level of your choice.

As we know a lot of children play football between the ages of 6-16 and then either fall out of the game due to there being no grassroots clubs that can offer a scholarship scheme and therefore they go to college and take up other ventures putting football behind them. This is where we come in. We are offering a first class footballing programme alongside a fantastic education programme for children aged between 15-18. During this time there will be work experience provided such as coaching in schools/academies etc. 

Once they have finished their 2 year programme we can then put them forward to local non-league football clubs to continue their development as a young footballer. Failing this there is opportunities to pursue a career over in the USA on a football scholarship where they will receive a first class education/degree whilst continuing their football. 

There is also a massive opportunity to be scouted by one of the many professional academies we have links with however this is down to the hard work, dedication and development of the child whilst with us.

Our main aim is to bridge the gap between U16 to first team football and not let all those years of football go to waste. Continue to help with the development of the young footballers aswell as giving them an education that they can use for a job/future outside of football.
