Academy Soccer YFC, a Charter Standard Community Status Club requires players to join next seasons U13 teams. This is an excellent opportunity for a new challenge as they build towards the move from playing 9v9 format to 11v11 this coming season.

The club is based on the Wickford/Rawreth side of Rayleigh, boasting our own purpose built ground complex and an all-weather training facility in Rayleigh allowing us to train all year round whilst others may be cancelling sessions. Having control of our own pitches enables us to play friendly matches throughout the summer and host our own tournament. Our players are therefore fully prepared for the coming season.

About the Club

Academy Soccer FC is an FA Community Status Club (the highest status awarded by the FA) affiliated to Essex FA and County Youth and Senior Leagues. All matches are played at our own purpose built ground The Warren which boasts Changing and Refreshment facilities. This has been achieved in a short space of time with a committed volunteer base and it is remarkable to think the club is only in its 6th season! No surprise then that Essex FA recognise us as one of the most forward thinking clubs in the country, and why our coaches are assisted by a Coaching Mentor employed by The FA to accelerate our coaches development and that of your child, So I guess you have to ask why you have not already secured a place for your child in such a dynamic club and set your child on the best possible development path. Yes we are relatively new and embrace new methods as the ‘old way’ is not always the ‘right way’!! We look forward to meeting you!!
