Football Academy

Football training at Maplewood Sports Academy

First Touch To Final Whistle

Our football academy gives boys and girls a full pathway, from first touches to inter-school squads. Sessions mix skills drills, small-sided games and real matches on our full-size artificial pitch.

Coaches keep groups small and split them by age and level, so every child gets plenty of time on the ball.
