Full information on the club's Development Centres around Kent

Gillingham Football Club currently have six Development Centres up and running throughout the County. These are based in Canterbury, Chatham, Folkestone, Dartford, Maidstone and Sittingbourne, giving the opportunity for young players in all four corners of Kent to become part of the only professional league club in the county.

Although the main aim is to recruit players for our academy, players can, and are encouraged, to remain registered with their local teams. We fully understand the importance of grassroots football and are keen to help develop players for the future whether they stay on with their local club or progress into our academy.

Regular Open Evenings are held throughout the year to recruit players into the centres and any talented players spotted at our Community run Soccer Schools and football activities are also invited to attend.

Lead Foundation Phase Rob Peck heads up the boys Development Centres, which focus on young players at U6 to u12s. Players work on a simplified syllabus that mirrors the main academy. We aim to give individual players plenty of time 'on the ball' during each session, encouraging ball manipulation and confidence in possession.

In addition to our main centres Gillingham Football Club also run elite centres for all age groups over three different venues throughout the county. These centres act as a stepping stone between the six main Centres and the academy.

Having these centres also enables us to keep an eye on players who in the first instance don't quite make it in to our academy. During the season centres have the opportunity to play games against one another to ensure a consistent standard of player is recruited, it also enables each player to develop at a faster rate than that might otherwise be the case. Games are also organised on a termly basis against local grassroots sides.

Sunderland Football Academy

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.
