    Huddersfield Town Academy Strategy - A New Direction

    The Town Academy has recategorized itself from a Category 2 system under the Elite Player Performance Plan to a Category 4 system. This will refocus the Club’s efforts on the higher Academy age groups where it has had its success in recent years with the progression of the likes of Tommy Smith and Philip Billing; both who joined Town post-16 years old.

    The Club has switched its age groupings to echo the European model, with Under-19 and Under-17 groups running alongside an Elite Development Team (EDT) for its older talents.

    The Academy, under the leadership of Leigh Bromby, has also re-banded its age categories to fit the calendar year as opposed to the Academic year to try and combat relative age effect, which shows Academy age groups are usually full of August to December birthdays due to their physical development.

    The EDT and Under-19 sides will play bespoke, tailored games programmes that will be put together to challenge Town’s young players, whilst the Under-17s will receive the physical stimulus of playing against Under-18 sides in league action.

    Players who want Football Trials at this club for all ages please continue to read on....

    Football Trials Introduction

    Our Football Academy is being 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 the our local catchment, then your best chance will be to join our fantastic Academy. The academy coaching team will be UEFA licence and members of the Football Association’s Licence Coaches Club.

    About this Football Club Academy

    The Academy will offer an advanced football development and education program supported by expert and dedicated staff. The Academy will use advanced technology and coaching methods to develop their players. We are actively looking for upcoming talent to join the academy, and will or can be selective about trialists.

    As part of our Academy philosophy we recognise our duty of care to support the community within projects and selected programmes. It is important that we can enable the academy to be within the heartbeat of the soccer community and share experiences with groups that the centre can support. Through our local relationships we will regularly observe players, games and school soccer and view this as a key aspect of identifying players for the Academy whilst transferring our knowledge and ability to the local community.

    As an Academy that will embrace a multidisciplinary approach we will take real pride in providing detailed individual support around the key roles in strength and conditioning. As part of our coaching programme players will receive regular guidance with components that support the overall physical demands for the developing player. This is seen through players in the maturation phase, specialised support, pre and post-performance. Our approach to the players understanding of dietary requirements, hydration, pre-hab and recovery is at the very heart of developing the person. These core values are key in the person understanding the demands of performance whilst progressing as a person.

    How to get a Football Trial at this Football Club & Academy

    Opportunities for open trials for players in all age groups do become available at various times, please remember can be based on player ability. Once the trials have been completed, you will have to be selected to have a trial at the Academy, 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 Academy is to join a local football club or School, playing football already is highly advised if you wish to progress to a higher level.

    Our scouts will regularly select young players from football schools, clubs and sessions and invite them to trial at the development centres for our Academy or teams, and anyone can play in their football schools so it offers an open door for all to get spotted. It is also particularly good planning to take your child to football schools as soon as they are old enough, so it enables them to develop their talents in line with the same level as their peers.

    16+ and Adult playing opportunities for selected players to progress through the playing ranks, under the watchful eye of the Football Academy Scouts and Club Team Management.

    Syllabus at Our Football Academy

    The training program at this Academy will be broken into technical and tactical training, with a special module for Goalkeepers. The below demonstrates:

    • The professional development phase at the clubs Academy. Professional, Semi Professional feeder system.
    • The youth development phase at the Academy
    • The foundation phase at the Academy
    • The youth / professional development phase at the Academy
    • The foundation development goalkeeper phase at the Academy
    • Male and Female Football Development Trial Opportunities.

    Exploring the Future of Football at our Academy

    Bio-Banding is an innovative way of grouping young football players according to their physical maturity rather than their age has been demonstrated to show big benefits when it comes to spotting hidden talent and reducing injuries.

    Bio-banding is a strategy which has existed for a number of years but has only recently been trialled by clubs in the UK – groups players according to their maturity level. This means youth teams are mixed when it comes to ages, but roughly equal when it comes to how physically developed players are. It is designed to avoid the David and Goliath situation whereby a late developing child is pitched against an early developed child, who has an advantage in size and strength.

    Advocates suggest bio-banding should not completely replace traditional practices which group players by age. But they suggest bio-banding can be an additional coaching tool used to better identify and retain talented yet late maturing athletes and can expose early and late developers to new challenges and learning opportunities.

    The Football Academy at this Football Club is considered paramount to the club’s success and integral part of our football philosophy. Youth development is represented at board level through to our Academy Football Director.

    Our Football Mission

    We have adopted a strategy to develop and coach the whole person to be world class. This approach is adopted throughout the club, youth to senior first team, staff to player. This is with the aim to develop not just the footballer/athlete but a rounded positive person in the community.

    Our Football Academy will never consider itself finished or fully developed but consider its purpose to continually strive to set the standard of player support, and development (football, education and personal).

    Football Vision

    The academy vision is to produce players for the first team, year on year, with the technical ability on the field to compete at the highest level domestically, and internationally.

    The club will always hold the community close to its heart and therefore the off the field behaviour will set an exemplary standard in the community and nationwide.

    The club will play a type of football that is considered ‘attractive’ and technical based whilst demonstrating the club’s 7 Pillars.

    The academy will not be orientated on results but players will be expected to demonstrate the competitive behaviours and positive/growth mentality it takes to deal with the demands of professional football and life.

    NB: The Club understands that although the desired goal is to create world-class footballers, this goal may not be achieved by all in the system – fulfilling potential is the goal.

    A guide to the Elite Player Performance Plan

    What is the EPPP?

    The Elite Player Performance Plan is an ambitious long-term vision with the aim of giving English football the ability to create the best Academy system in the world, allowing clubs to produce more and better quality home grown players.
    It has been developed after consultations with Academy Managers, Premier League clubs, the Football League, the Football Association, and other key stakeholders within the game.

    Football Academies were audited by an external company Double pass, judged against the EPPP’s classification system, and put into one of four categories – the highest of which will give clubs more opportunity to extend its elite environment and make more strategic decisions.

    The new classification replaced the old two-tier model of Academies and Centre of Excellence systems, and has seen a major change in the way that youth football is delivered in this country.

    Classification

    Category One - Regular graduation of players into the Premier League and wider professional game with up to 8,500 coaching hours

    Category Two - Graduation of players into the Premier League and Championship from time to time and regular graduates into the wider game with up to 6,600 coaching hours

    Category Three - Graduation of players regularly into the professional game predominantly in Leagues one and two and players potentially capable of progression into Cat One and Cat Two Academies with up to 3,600 coaching hours

    Category Four - Graduation of players into the professional game League two and semi-professional level with up to 3,200 coaching hours

    The Premier League, The Football League and the Football Association invest an increased amount of central income into Youth Development nationwide, so the higher the classification given to the club in the EPPP following the independent audit, the more funding is made available to the club, alongside signification financial commitments from the clubs at each category.

    Key Principals

    There are six fundamental principles that have been highlighted as key to the success of the EPPP, and will be achieved by focusing on coaching, classification, compensation, and education.

    1. Increase the number and quality of home grown players gaining professional contracts in the clubs and playing first team football at the highest level.

    2. Create more time for players to play and be coached.

    3. Improve coaching provision.

    4. Implement a system of effective measurement and quality assurance.

    5. Positively influence strategic investment into the Academy System demonstrating value for money.

    6. Seek to implement significant gains in every aspect of player development.

    A focus of the EPPP is to allow players more time to practice with their coaches, as well as fostering links with local schools to not only aid players in their development as a footballer, but also to help nurture young players from an academic point of view.

    7 Pillars of the Academy and Football Trial Opportunities

    Competitive environment for Football Trials

    The academy specialises in the individual, this is evident very early in the session. The arrival activity is individualised and the tempo, expectations, feedback and interaction within the session allow the player to perform to a high standard and really take pride in their own performance.

    Individual player focused delivery

    The ethos of this Football Academy is the individual is at the centre of the delivery and journey. This bespoke service really enables players to understand where they currently are within their game, what the focus of delivery is in relation to their game and how they can achieve the required expectation. All generated from development and evident in overall performance.

    Technically driven excellence in Football

    The structure of the syllabus is really focused on the technical demands of the modern game. As a result the delivery and sessions generated connect the individual to the game, with great emphasis to become technically outstanding footballers.

    Outstanding Football Player basics

    As the academy fulfils a multi-disciplined approach there is real emphasis on general outstanding fundamentals. This maybe movement patterns related to the game, cognitive understanding and thought processes, emotional intelligence to fulfil the demands of elite performance and personality of the player.

    Coach football ability to support player development

    The academy delivers a relevant and professional service to support the player. This requires players to want to be part of that journey. Do they want to engage in development? Can they retain information? Are they proactive with their own performance? Can they be resilient and understand disappointment whilst striving for achievement?

    Reflection driven and Football Analysis

    The systematic approach enables regular dialogue and feedback generated. Players receive honest feedback that can support short and long term goals. Evidence of performance is needed to be part of the players understanding and to strive to develop.

    Personal Football Player expectations

    Part of the academy is to develop people. Can the player gain greater life skills, performance tools to enhance preparation and post recovery? We want our players to strive to improve all forms of their personality and value the great opportunity they have within the academy and as young people that are at the very early staged of their careers.
    Our  Academy offers an advanced football development and education programme supported by expert and dedicated staff. The Academy uses advanced technology and coaching methods to develop their female players. We are actively looking for upcoming talent to join the Academy. Players under 16 predominantly must live within 1hr (young players) to 1hr, 30 minutes distance from training venue.

    Birmingham City Official Player Recruitment Process

    The player recruitment department is tasked with the monitoring, selection and transition of players operating outside of our Academy environment. The recruitment team will work collectively with our coaches to prioritise the identification of players within the three phases of the player pathway.

    The priority of the department is to recruit, develop and produce players able to reach the Academy’s core purpose. This process is player centered, focusing on the identification of players able to excel in one or more of the four corners associated to player development and, where possible predominantly recruit from a catchment area within an hour of Birmingham. The strategy will be collaborative in nature, planned and aligned to the profiles through each of the development phases where appropriate.

    PRE-ACADEMY

    The Pre-Academy is a development programme designed to identify, assess and nurture local talented individuals between 6 - 8 years of age. The primary aim is to develop technically gifted individuals for our U9’s squads who become accustomed to the club’s culture and playing philosophy through weekly training sessions and games, allowing for an easy transition into the Academy way of life. The major emphasis of the programme is technical development. With the use of the clubs training facilities, and a structured coaching syllabus and games programme, our UEFA qualified Academy staff seek to increase player to ball contact time in a fun, inclusive and professional environment.

    COMMUNITY TRUST

    The Club has a very large Community Trust scheme operating a number of local coaching programmes. The Community Trust run a shadow squad programme for U12-U14 players participating on a weekly basis in a number of local grass root leagues. There is also a full time programme for the U17-U19’s.

    Players from within the Community Trust programme can be directly recommended by a member of staff for a trial period. In addition to this, each Community Trust coach working within the shadow squad and on the U17-19 programme acts as a spotter, recommending opposition players they have seen in the fixtures that their respective teams have participated in.

    SCHOOLS FOOTBALL PROGRAMME

    Within the West Midlands area there is a thriving schools football programme. Through community links, it has been identified that there are some young players who only participate in schools’ football and may not be observed participating in local grass root fixtures. There are a number of reasons for this, the most common being a recent move to the area or little/no parental support.

    The Academy continually supports West Midland District Schools at both primary and secondary level allowing the use of the training facilities for prestigious games in their calendar. School staff are also invited to Academy CPD events in order to aid their development as coaches. This relationship means there is the opportunity for talented players who are identified by school staff to be recommended directly to the Recruitment Manager/Officer. This may lead to an observation, and if suitable, an invitation to the Academy trial process.

    TRIAL APPLICATION

    The Academy is always on the lookout for local talented young players. Should you or someone you know, wish to be considered for a trial please follow the procedure set forth below. Players between 9 and 18 years old are asked to send their playing CV and cover letter to the Academy Recruitment Manager and Officer.

    The Journey to Derby County FC Academy: A Dream for Aspiring Footballers

    The path to professional football is a dream pursued by many, but only a few make it through the rigorous and competitive process of football academy trials. For those aiming to join the ranks of Derby County FC's esteemed academy, the journey is filled with excitement, hard work, and the hope of one day playing at Pride Park Stadium.

    Derby County FC, a club with a rich history dating back to 1884, has been a nurturing ground for football talent. The academy is known for its commitment to developing young players, providing them with the skills and mindset required to succeed at the highest levels of football. With a legacy that includes being one of the 12 founding members of the English Football League, the club has a deep-rooted connection to the sport's history in England.

    The academy trials, often held and Tony's Soccer School, are a gateway for talented young footballers to showcase their abilities. These trials are not just about skill; they are a test of determination, tactical understanding, and the ability to work as part of a team. The academy looks for players who demonstrate potential, discipline, and the drive to improve every day.

    For those interested in applying for the Derby County FC Academy football trials, the process is detailed and requires preparation. Aspiring footballers must be ready to provide a comprehensive footballing CV, including their playing history, positions, and any previous experience with professional academies. The trials are open to various age groups, offering opportunities for players as young as under six to those over sixteen.

    The academy's trials are meticulously planned throughout the year, with specific dates set for each age group. This structured approach ensures that every player gets a fair chance to impress the scouts and coaches. The trials are not just a one-off event; they are part of a continuous search for talent that could one day grace the pitch as part of Derby County FC's first team.

    For those who make it through the trials, the academy offers a world-class training environment. The coaching staff, equipped with extensive experience and knowledge, are dedicated to refining the skills of each player. The academy's philosophy is to create well-rounded individuals who excel both on and off the pitch.

    The journey to becoming a professional footballer is challenging, but for those who dream of playing for Derby County FC, the academy trials are the first step towards turning that dream into reality. It's a chance to join a club that values its youth system as the foundation for future success.

If you have what it takes, the Derby County FC Academy could be the start of an incredible footballing journey. Good luck to all the hopefuls aiming to make their mark in the world of football!

    The Derby County Development Centre trials take place on a regular basis during the year.

    The Academy holds a series of Open Trial Evenings to find the best young male talent in the Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire area.

    Since the Development Centres were originally set up, over 70 players have progressed through the Development Centre system to sign for Derby County’s Academy.

    Last season, 10 players made the step from the Development Centre to the Derby County Academy, ranging from Under 8s through to Under 15s.

    The Development Centre gives children the opportunity to train free of charge on a weekly basis, in an environment that will develop them technically, tactically, psychologically and socially.

    Successful trialists will earn a place at their chosen trial venue or given the opportunity in the Rams' shadow squads or Academy.

    The current trials are now full to capacity. Please check back soon for future trial dates.

    Request a Trial with Ipswich Town FC Academy

    In an effort to avoid your disappointment, Ipswich Town Football Club will not normally invite a player in for a trial unless one of our scouts has seen him play and thinks he is of the required standard. Our scouts continually watch the best standard, and teams, of football in their allocated areas, and they will only recommend a player for trials who they feel has a high level of all-round ability, along with the attributes required to become a professional footballer.

    Players should be playing regularly for a club. Players aged 16-18 should be playing at a competitive standard (we would suggest at least semi professional non-League football). You should also hold a British or EU passport, or have ‘leave to remain’ in this country. If the above applies to you send a football CV

    Including Name, Address, Phone Numbers, Age, Date of Birth, Height, Position you play, footballing back ground and up and coming fixtures and times and club you play for and any other relevant information. Send by Email

    Players who want Football Trials at this club for all ages please continue to read on....

    Football Trials Introduction

    Our Football Academy is being 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 the our local catchment, then your best chance will be to join our fantastic Academy. The academy coaching team will be UEFA licence and members of the Football Association’s Licence Coaches Club.

    About this Football Club Academy

    The Academy will offer an advanced football development and education program supported by expert and dedicated staff. The Academy will use advanced technology and coaching methods to develop their players. We are actively looking for upcoming talent to join the academy, and will or can be selective about trialists.

    As part of our Academy philosophy we recognise our duty of care to support the community within projects and selected programmes. It is important that we can enable the academy to be within the heartbeat of the soccer community and share experiences with groups that the centre can support. Through our local relationships we will regularly observe players, games and school soccer and view this as a key aspect of identifying players for the Academy whilst transferring our knowledge and ability to the local community.

    As an Academy that will embrace a multidisciplinary approach we will take real pride in providing detailed individual support around the key roles in strength and conditioning. As part of our coaching programme players will receive regular guidance with components that support the overall physical demands for the developing player. This is seen through players in the maturation phase, specialised support, pre and post-performance. Our approach to the players understanding of dietary requirements, hydration, pre-hab and recovery is at the very heart of developing the person. These core values are key in the person understanding the demands of performance whilst progressing as a person.

    How to get a Football Trial at this Football Club & Academy

    Opportunities for open trials for players in all age groups do become available at various times, please remember can be based on player ability. Once the trials have been completed, you will have to be selected to have a trial at the Academy, 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 Academy is to join a local football club or School, playing football already is highly advised if you wish to progress to a higher level.

    Our scouts will regularly select young players from football schools, clubs and sessions and invite them to trial at the development centres for our Academy or teams, and anyone can play in their football schools so it offers an open door for all to get spotted. It is also particularly good planning to take your child to football schools as soon as they are old enough, so it enables them to develop their talents in line with the same level as their peers.

    16+ and Adult playing opportunities for selected players to progress through the playing ranks, under the watchful eye of the Football Academy Scouts and Club Team Management.

    Syllabus at Our Football Academy

    The training program at this Academy will be broken into technical and tactical training, with a special module for Goalkeepers. The below demonstrates:

    • The professional development phase at the clubs Academy. Professional, Semi Professional feeder system.

    • Male and Female Football Development Trial Opportunities.

    Exploring the Future of Football at our Academy

    Bio-Banding is an innovative way of grouping young football players according to their physical maturity rather than their age has been demonstrated to show big benefits when it comes to spotting hidden talent and reducing injuries.

    Bio-banding is a strategy which has existed for a number of years but has only recently been trialled by clubs in the UK – groups players according to their maturity level. This means youth teams are mixed when it comes to ages, but roughly equal when it comes to how physically developed players are. It is designed to avoid the David and Goliath situation whereby a late developing child is pitched against an early developed child, who has an advantage in size and strength.

    Advocates suggest bio-banding should not completely replace traditional practices which group players by age. But they suggest bio-banding can be an additional coaching tool used to better identify and retain talented yet late maturing athletes and can expose early and late developers to new challenges and learning opportunities.

    The Football Academy at this Football Club is considered paramount to the club’s success and integral part of our football philosophy. Youth development is represented at board level through to our Academy Football Director.

    Our Football Mission

    We have adopted a strategy to develop and coach the whole person to be world class. This approach is adopted throughout the club, youth to senior first team, staff to player. This is with the aim to develop not just the footballer/athlete but a rounded positive person in the community.

    Our Football Academy will never consider itself finished or fully developed but consider its purpose to continually strive to set the standard of player support, and development (football, education and personal).

    Football Vision

    The academy vision is to produce players for the first team, year on year, with the technical ability on the field to compete at the highest level domestically, and internationally.

    The club will always hold the community close to its heart and therefore the off the field behaviour will set an exemplary standard in the community and nationwide.

    The club will play a type of football that is considered ‘attractive’ and technical based whilst demonstrating the club’s 7 Pillars.

    The academy will not be orientated on results but players will be expected to demonstrate the competitive behaviours and positive/growth mentality it takes to deal with the demands of professional football and life.

    NB: The Club understands that although the desired goal is to create world-class footballers, this goal may not be achieved by all in the system – fulfilling potential is the goal.

    7 Pillars of the Academy and Football Trial Opportunities

    Competitive environment for Football Trials

    The academy specialises in the individual, this is evident very early in the session. The arrival activity is individualised and the tempo, expectations, feedback and interaction within the session allow the player to perform to a high standard and really take pride in their own performance.

    Individual player focused delivery

    The ethos of this Football Academy is the individual is at the centre of the delivery and journey. This bespoke service really enables players to understand where they currently are within their game, what the focus of delivery is in relation to their game and how they can achieve the required expectation. All generated from development and evident in overall performance.

    Technically driven excellence in Football

    The structure of the syllabus is really focused on the technical demands of the modern game. As a result the delivery and sessions generated connect the individual to the game, with great emphasis to become technically outstanding footballers.

    Outstanding Football Player basics

    As the academy fulfils a multi-disciplined approach there is real emphasis on general outstanding fundamentals. This maybe movement patterns related to the game, cognitive understanding and thought processes, emotional intelligence to fulfil the demands of elite performance and personality of the player.

    Coach football ability to support player development

    The academy delivers a relevant and professional service to support the player. This requires players to want to be part of that journey. Do they want to engage in development? Can they retain information? Are they proactive with their own performance? Can they be resilient and understand disappointment whilst striving for achievement?

    Reflection driven and Football Analysis

    The systematic approach enables regular dialogue and feedback generated. Players receive honest feedback that can support short and long term goals. Evidence of performance is needed to be part of the players understanding and to strive to develop.

    Personal Football Player expectations

    Part of the academy is to develop people. Can the player gain greater life skills, performance tools to enhance preparation and post recovery? We want our players to strive to improve all forms of their personality and value the great opportunity they have within the academy and as young people that are at the very early staged of their careers.
    Our  Academy offers an advanced football development and education programme supported by expert and dedicated staff. The Academy uses advanced technology and coaching methods to develop their female players. We are actively looking for upcoming talent to join the Academy. Players under 16 predominantly must live within 1hr (young players) to 1hr, 30 minutes distance from training venue.

    Sky Blues in the Community at times hold open trials for the Player Development Centre scheme for u6 to u18

    The Player Development Centre initiative offers advanced football coaching with a technical and tactical focus for children of all footballing abilities and experiences. We have a strong believe that for players to be able to develop and reach their potential they need to train and play with others of a similar level. For this reason we have a player pathway in place where players can move up or down so we can make sure they are in a group which is both challenging but also gives them a chance to have success.

    The overriding mission statement for SBitC Player Development Centres is ‘To provide high quality coaching and a positive coaching environment to support players in reaching their potential’. We achieve this by providing a positive learning environment that focusses on each individual player, rather than team results.

    We understand that all players are different, which is why we follow the FA ‘Four Corner Model’, which looks at the whole player including: Technical/Tactical, Physical, Social and Physiological areas of their game. 

    We don’t promise that players involved in our PDCs will become professional footballers, but what we do guarantee is a high quality coaching environment that improves the technical and tactical understanding of those who attend.

    SBITC are a registered charity, therefore a not-for-profit organisation. This means that all costs involved in PDCs cover the costs of running the centre, rather than begin focused on making profit.

    Open Trial information & dates:

    The open trials normally run over a 5 week period. On the first week we put all the new players together for an initial assessment from which they are then allocated a group to train with our existing players for the following 4 weeks. Depending how many new players we have attend we will also try our best to offer players the opportunity to play in at least one match during this period. We find that by seeing the players over this period of time and at both training and games gives us the best opportunity of identifying which level on our pathway best suits them.

    To register a player please register interest for the trials please send players CV and ensure they live within 1 hour of clubs training ground then email it to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

    Sunderland Football Academy

    Sunderland Road

    Cleadon

    The club’s Academy of Light opened its doors in 2003 and is rightly considered amongst the best football training facilities in Europe.

    The club’s players have access to magnificent facilities, including a hydrotherapy pool, top-class medical care and an indoor barn featuring a 4G synthetic pitch as well as up to 18 outdoor pitches.

    The low-profile buildings are deceptive – the lower floor is completely below ground level and packs in more than can be imagined from the outside!

    It’s a far cry from the club’s previous training ground, the Charlie Hurley Centre, which was made up of temporary buildings including an old cricket pavilion.

    OUR PHILOSOPHY

    The Academy aims to be professional, approachable and friendly and will give young players the best chance to develop on the pitch as well as socially and academically.

    We have a responsibility to develop young players in a challenging, safe and supportive environment with committed and experienced members of staff.

    We strive to create an environment where developing players are encouraged to experiment, make errors and express themselves.

    A system is in place which allows young players to progress to the first-team squad if they are prepared to work hard, be open-minded and stay committed.

    Players will be treated fairly and will receive advice and feedback as part of a holistic approach which will produce young men and footballers we can all be proud of.

    The educational development of every young footballer is a key part of Academy life, and we take our commitment to education seriously.

    We firmly believe in lifelong learning and the holistic development of every Academy player.

    This, together with our opinion that success is a journey not a destination, forms the foundation of our mission statement.

    All full-time scholars embark on an Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence (AASE). The apprenticeship is comprised of a Level 3 NVQ Diploma plus an educational component. 

    Most scholars will study for a BTEC Level 3 in Sport as part of their education and this is equivalent to two A-Levels.

    The scholars also graduate from the Academy, whether to the professional game or elsewhere, with a referee’s qualification and an FA Level 2 Certificate in Coaching Football.

    The Academy is home to all the club’s representative teams, from the youngest age groups through to the U18, U21 and senior squads as well as the Sunderland Ladies team.
