About Athletic Football Academy
A football development centre
AFG Academy is a football academy delivering high quality sessions in the Oxford area for u7s - u14s.
Our aim is to bridge the gap between grassroots football and professional club academy football, giving children a springboard from which to practice invaluable skills and progress their footballing development, should they choose to.
What are the academy's aims?
The academy allows players to develop through a unique coaching programme once per week with professional coaches. *Train alongside your grassroots club*
In 23/24, we had an extensive matches programme to allow as much exposure to high- level football as possible and aid development through game play. We played Swindon Town FC, Wims 11 and other higher-level organisations this year.
We are expecting to continue enhancing our match programme with strong games.
What's on the syllabus?
The coaching syllabus we boast has been specifically designed for progress through our talent centre environment and into the world of higher-level youth football.

Professional Academy Experience
Our programme is headed by our Technical Director. Our Technical Director previously coached in the academy for a Premier League Club.
