VISION OF THE ACADEMY

To produce talented individuals who have the necessary skills and qualities to compete at the highest level, whilst adopting the beliefs, strategies and styles of play in line with Northampton Town Football Club and its first team. We aim to create players with the appropriate technical, tactical, physical and psychological traits needed to be successful in the professional game, as well as the confidence and ability to express themselves and take risks when appropriate. Players will have an understanding of all positions, formations and tactics and be competent to use effective decision making and creativity, both as an individual and as part of a unit/team, to overcome the various challenges and problems posed in the modern game. 

Based on the vision of the Academy, the guiding principles we as a club wish to operate by and the playing style of the first team, Northampton Town’s Academy teams will play in line with the following philosophy.
