We're delighted to be able to introduce our new look Football Academy in partnership with United Select from season 2024/25.
United Select have a proven record of establishing and building academy projects with clubs and we are excited with the potential our new partnership will offer talented local young student athletes.
With academic pathways including an A-level pathway, the 2-year NCFE Level 3 in Sport, plus a third year optional Personal Training qualification, the Academic pathways are varied and can suit boys and girls leaving in year 11 and year 13.
With structured pathways into our men’s and women’s first teams, the Academy will be managed by dedicated United Selects staff,led by our Technical Director Tristan Lewis, who is also currently an emerging talent scout at Arsenal FC, and Craig Lewis, Head of Education, who has previously been the Portugues National Team Sports Scientist, so the knowledge and background of our team will allow academy students to draw from real football industry experience. United Select will utilise the outstanding facilities at Holloways Park and Richings Sports Park, to ensure that students have access to bespoke gym facilities, classrooms, and elite football environment.
Our next trial session is on Wednesday January 7th from 7:00pm-9:00pm. If you would like to come along meet the staff, take part in a session and find out more about our new look Academy, launching in September 2024 then get in touch by filling in the form here!
