The Academy

For Ages 4-6

An Introduction to Football


Our Academy 1 & 2 is open to both boys and girls, with training sessions taking place every Saturday from 9am to 10am on our 11-a-side all-weather pitch. We also have a Girls Only Academy that runs every Sunday from 9am to 10am.

Our Academy is all about fun, learning, and helping young players fall in love with football right from the start. Designed for boys and girls aged 5–6, our sessions focus on movement, building confidence with the ball, and learning to work as a team in a positive, supportive environment.

Led by our club’s Head of Football, Sean Keane, who is UEFA-qualified, along with a team of dedicated coaches and supported by enthusiastic parents, each session is packed with energy, encouragement, and enjoyment. We put fun, friendship, and fair play at the heart of everything we do.
