Manchester City Soccer Academy

Information

Package overview

Does your school have a team? Why not plan an exciting trip for the enthusiastic young footballer! We offer school teams the opportunity to attend a premier league match, have a coaching session with the staff of a Premier League Academy and play a friendly match against local opposition and have some fun element also!!

Set up in 1998, the academy provides a strong and effective youth programme for the recruitment and development of young footballers within Manchester City Football Club. Since then, 30 young players have emerged from the academy to play first-team football for Manchester City, an unprecedented achievement in the modern era.

In line with the Football Association’s Charter of Quality, the Academy prepares players of the future for the club and enables them to progress both on and off the field. Structured coaching, together with an educational and welfare programme throughout their time at the club, ensures that there is continuity for the players from the ages of 9-18.
