Fulham FC Foundation’s Football and Education programme gives talented young individuals the opportunity to gain
a football scholarship whilst continuing their academic studies in a full-time football and educational programme.
The programme, aimed at 16-18 year olds, helps provide students with the best opportunity to gain A-Level and BTEC
qualifications whilst competing like a professional footballer and training every day.
Within the programme they combine technical, tactical, physical and psychological aspects in order to develop the individual
holistically as well as providing them with the pastoral support in order to help them manage the balance of being a student
athlete. This entitles them to access to physiotherapists and strength and conditioning coaches who will support individual
development physically by tailored programmes and nutritional advice.
In addition to supporting individuals academically, the programme looks to challenge players’ football ability by competing at
the highest level outside of academy football. The teams compete in the FA Youth Cup, Conference Youth Alliance League,
Southern Youth Floodlit League and the Premier League/Football League Development League where the most talented players
have opportunities to trial at local semi-professional and professional clubs as well as being supported through college
scholarship applications.
