The Football Academy is taking applications for the 2010/11 season from both male and female players. You can fill out an application form online through the website. Training sessions have been taking place over the last few weeks. We hope to announce the 2010 intake shortly, so keep checking the players profile page to see the new squad.

Congratulations!!

Well done to Quentin Bromley, Chad Nicholls and Chadd Birch who have now completed their FA Level 1 coaching badge. Other members of the squad will be starting their courses shortly.


Courses
The Academy players have completed their 1st Aid qualification which will help them with any future coaching badges they may undertake, as well as providing another qualification. In April they also completed the introduction to referee's course with some of the squad now taking that on to complete their first assessment level in refereeing. 


Step in to Sport
A big well done to 10 of the Academy squad for starting their 'Step in to Sport' coaching courses with great reviews and feedback. The players have started a qualification that will give them experiences in leading, coaching and running sessions, while working with young people in the local community. They have now lead some sessions with youngsters from the local community and will continue to do so throughout the rest of the academic year.

Cup Competitions
The Academy were unfortunate to lose in the semi final of the West Midlands Colleges Cup going down 3-0 to Solihull. It was a committed game and the team put in a determined performance. A hard fought game saw  the team go out of the ESFA National Cup 3-1 To King Charles School in the 3rd round, as well as reaching the Wolverhampton City cup 1/4 Final before defeat to Wolverhampton Grammar School.  The team will be competing  in all three competitions again next season.

League Fixtures
We have now completed the league fixtures for the 2009/10 season finishing with a record of 8 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses scoring 63 goals and acquiring 25 points. A successful first season in the league finishing runners-up. Well done and thanks to all the players, and staff involved with the team this year. Go to the fixtures tab to see who got the goals and all of our results in more detail.
