Our English + football course runs from September to June every year. A lot of our international student players stay for 6 months or more and make sure that they hit their English language target, too. However, you don’t need to come for the whole academic year. You can start whenever you wish and need only take a minimum of two weeks.
Follow us now to watch the British football journeys of our brand-new squad. Which team will they be selected for? Development or Elite? Which ones will impress the coaches and the scouts and secure a trial? Which ones will earn a US soccer scholarship and go on to graduate in the USA whilst continuing to develop their soccer skills and be eligible for drafting into the US professional league system?
