Supporting Parents through an Academy Scholarship or Contract Decision

As parents and guardians, supporting your young footballer through transitions in their sports career can be incredibly daunting. Are you unsure about what steps to take if your child’s future at their current club is uncertain or if they have recently been released from their football academy? Are you looking for ways to support them practically and emotionally through this challenging time? While football academies provide our boys with foundational support, the real game-changer is your role as a parent helping them.

Why This Workshop is Essential

This is an essential resource for those seeking the best ways to support your child.
