April to July 2022
The Albion Foundation is delighted to welcome players back to our Pre-Academy Session this season.
The Albion Foundation aims to provide high quality and structured coaching sessions, whilst maintaining a positive learning environment. Our player pathway caters for children of all abilities through our Pre Academies and our Player Development Academies within the Black Country, Walsall, Dudley or Worcestershire. The key aim of our sessions are to develop players’ core technical ability, physical FUNdamentals as well as a basic tactical understanding.
Pre Academies provide players with an introduction to football for all levels of ability with a potential entry into elite and professional football environments via our Player Development Academies. Our Kicks sessions also provide an exit route for those children not ready for the elite set up. The Player Development Academy has a key link with the West Bromwich Albion FC Academy, helping to identify those that are talented and supporting their progress through the club’s player pathway.
All sessions are delivered by FA/UEFA qualified coaches, that are first aid and DBS checked. Children MUST attend wearing shin pads, correct footwear (email coach if unsure) and a soft drink. Players should register with the ‘lead coach’ on the evening as they arrive and will also need to be collected at the end of every session. No child will be allowed to leave until the designated parent has been seen.
Payment options allow you to pay in half termly or term blocks in line with the school term dates, please scroll down the booking form and click ‘price category’ to see the available options. You can also book the remaining sessions left in the term.
