HOW WE HELP OUR COMMUNITY?

Where football meets purpose beyond the pitch. Here, you'll find the projects and programs we're proud to run in support of our local community.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH

At Football Fitness Academy, we proudly support students working towards their Bronze, Silver, or Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award by helping them complete their Skills or Volunteering sections. Whether they choose to develop their coaching abilities, improve their football techniques, or assist with younger age groups, we provide structured, meaningful opportunities that align with the DofE requirements. Our experienced staff ensure students not only meet the criteria, but also gain valuable life skills, confidence, and a sense of achievement along the way.

WORK EXPERIENCE

We offer valuable work experience opportunities for students aged 14–16 who are passionate about football and keen to explore a future in sports coaching. Our structured program allows students to get hands-on experience assisting with coaching sessions, learning from qualified coaches, and developing key skills such as teamwork, leadership, and communication. It's a great way for young people to gain insight into the sports industry while building confidence and fulfilling school work experience requirements in a fun, supportive environment.

GRASS ROOTS

Our Head Coach leads a community youth football team for children in the Under-5 (U5) age group, offering a fun and supportive first step into the game.

Sessions are built around age-appropriate activities and games that develop motor skills, coordination, and confidence — all while keeping enjoyment at the heart of everything we do.

We provide a safe, nurturing environment where children can make friends, stay active, and begin their football journey with smiles on their faces and excitement for the game.
