Ages 6–18
Where young Harriers fall in love with football
The academy is the heartbeat of our club. Twice-weekly sessions blend technical fundamentals — first touch, passing, dribbling, finishing — with small-sided games that keep every child involved, smiling, and improving. Squads are grouped by age and stage, never by pressure.
- Two 75-minute sessions per week plus weekend festival football.
- Maximum 14 players per coach — every child gets the ball.
- Free academy training kit and termly progress cards for parents.
