Our Participants
Ann and Archie
The Spartans Community Football Academy has a range of holiday and term time football coaching programmes for boys and girls aged between 3 and 12 years. We focus on learning new skills and playing football in a friendly, supportive, inclusive environment.
"I found out about The Spartans Community Football Academy from some of the parents at Archie’s school. Archie is six years old; I thought he might be a bit young to come along, but it’s been amazing. He comes to The Academy for Saturday football during term time so it’s great that there’s a holiday programme too. He just loves football and can’t get enough of it.
I can’t believe how quickly his skills have developed and how much more confident and independent he seems. Archie’s brother turns three this year so we are thinking about enrolling him in Saturday football too."
More than football
"I didn’t realise that The Spartans Community Football Academy was a social enterprise and I’m really impressed with the work that they do in the community. It's great to know that when Archie plays I am contributing to more than football."
"I love coaching our programmes. Kids like Archie are a ball of energy! Because I see them regularly, I can really see a difference in their skills in a short time. It’s great seeing them progress, but one of the best things is seeing them all make new friends."
