Football Academy
New for September 2022 in partnership with Punjab United Football Academy!
Our Football Academy provides a two year professional, structured programme of coaching, strength and conditioning, sport science and video analysis to allow players to develop at an elite level.
There is a heavy emphasis on skill development and teaching players how to play the modern game. Over the two years we aim to teach our athletes how to play and understand a variety of systems that will allow them to succeed wherever they go after the Academy, whether this be University, Semi or Professional teams.
My aim is to support any aspiring football player to fulfil their dream.
