UCFB Women's Football Academy
Our Academy
Overview
At the UCFB Women’s Football Academy, elite level players are able to train full-time with the schedule and attention to detail of a professional footballer, led by highly experienced coaches from the English Premier League and Academy system.
Individual and team coaching sessions will include analysis, goalkeeper training, position-related sessions and strength and conditioning development. This multi-disciplined approached can truly enable the players to further their football journey alongside their academic requirements.
Students in the Academy have access to world-leading performance analysis tools from Hudl, the industry-standard software used by athletes, coaches and clubs across the globe.
Players on the programme will play in the British University and Colleges (BUCS) League on a Wednesday. In addition, games are arranged against professional and semi-professional teams in order to challenge and develop players further. UCFB has the benefit of using its strong relationships and links to a range of leagues and clubs to allow the players pathways into the game.
Thanks to our partnerships with The Football Association, The National League, League Managers Association, Kick It Out and over more employment partners from the world of sport, our academy is a natural next step in UCFB’s vision to drive forward the sports industry together.
