It’s Gold.

We really couldn’t be prouder of this.

Today we joined a very exclusive club when we were awarded the Kent FA’s Gold Licensed Provider status. It’s a huge honour and something we are humbled by, after 2 years hard work to build a football academy that holds our values right at the very heart.

When we started we didn’t like what we saw. We worked as FA Coach Mentors and the deeper we got into the grassroots game the more we saw how football was treating young players. Young PEOPLE. The badge on the front of the jersey was becoming more important than the young player underneath it. The need to “get one over” the rival. To celebrate the success of a player versus the development of them. The system was broken, lost and the reason kids played football in the first place was being completely missed. It’s the pure love of the game.
