The Shared Learning Trust (TSLT) operate two Academy sites in Luton at Chalk Hills and Stockwood Park and both will have brand new sixth form blocks and newly surfaced astro pitches from September following a multi-million pound investment programme. Both sixth forms received Ofsted rated ‘Good’ post 16 provision across both sites with excellent exam results.
The TSLT Football Academy/Luton Town FC programme is designed for boys who want to take a sports qualification whilst receiving a full-time football training programme. Additional GCSE support is available in Maths and English.

Head of Trust Kevin Thoburn said: "We are delighted to finally bring an education + sport opportunity for 16+year olds into the heart of the Town with two centres in North and South Luton.

This Academy is developed in order to invest in upcoming footballing talent and provide the network, coaching, health and lifestyle advice that each player needs to make a successful career in football. If you are looking for a career in football, and live in this academy catchment, then your best chance will be to join the Academy.
About this Academy
This Academy offer an advanced football development and education programme supported by expert and dedicated staff.
This Academy is located at:
This clubs Academy use advanced technology and coaching methods to develop their players. They are actively looking for upcoming talent to join their academy, and are very selective about who gets in, as competition is tough.
With the changes that have taken place in the football academy system. Academy Category three clubs are now free (U12+) to recruit from all over the nation.
Previously, Category three clubs could only recruit talent within a 90 minute travelling time to the academy, but the FA have reconsidered this following thinking that the best talent should only fairly be allowed to play in the best academies even if they do not live nearby. This gives the very best talent the very best chances of success, thus growing our home grown talent for the international stage.
This has seen a rise in host families being recruited here, to help house young promising talent in safe family environments.
Upcoming Fixtures
We have a whole programme of upcoming activities, fixtures and events. Check the times of each match or look up the match venue for any of the Academy age groups.
How to get a trial at this team
You must be selected to have a trial at this club, so it is important that players are spotted in the right places at the right times. For some players, they prefer a direct approach sending in links to videos of themselves playing football, but it is worth bearing in mind that clubs receive thousands of these videos each week and simply don’t have time to watch them all and go about their daily business, so the most effective way of getting scouted for a trial at this club is to join. Scouts regularly select young players from soccer school sessions and invite them to trial at the development centres, and anyone can play in their soccer schools so it offers an open door for all to get spotted.
It is also particularly good planning to take your child to soccer schools as soon as they are old enough, as their competition will be doing the same, so it enables them to develop their talents in line with the same level as their peers.
How to get scouted by a scout
scouts offer players the chance to trial. Many players are lucky enough to find themselves in the right places when scouts are watching games, but we are also very aware that good talent can slip through the net, so do offer players the chances to directly contact them with the below details.
Understandably they are unable to respond to everybody due to the volume of applications, but this does serve as an effective way to alert scouts about talent looking to take their football to the next level and secure a trial
To get scouted for a trial simply collect the following information:
- Players CV
- Covering Letter
- Players Vital Statistics: Players position, Age, Date of Birth, Height, Weight, contact email/phone/address, current club, previous clubs, detail of any trials already attended, any representative honours such as school, districts, county etc
- Players school they attend
- Fixture list of your current team, including location and kick off time to be passed to scout
Once you have collated all of the above information, email
will assess your application and decide whether or not to send a scout to watch the game.
