Football Academy

Steyning Grammar School 6th Form College works in partnership with Steyning Town CFC to provide an under-19 Football Academy. The Academy is a full time football and education course which gives aspiring young players the opportunity to combine their academic studies with a comprehensive football training schedule. The football training will be delivered by Steyning Town FC First team manager Gerry Murphy (Uefa B coach) and will take place on the fantastic 3G at Steyning Town FC. The course will offer an insight into the professional football environment, providing up to 4 hours of practical training per week. The football schedule will include: review of match play, match preparation training, individual and group analysis, tactical awareness training and the opportunity to play weekly fixtures representing Steyning 6th Form College in National and County League competitions. Students will also have access to strength and conditioning classes run by existing and guest coaches, as well as be given the opportunity to attain qualifications in the coaching field. In addition students will also be able to access coaching, nutrition and first aid training. The Academy will be run alongside the students’ academic studies. However we reserve the right to suspend students involvement in the Academy if studies aren’t at the level required.
