WELCOME TO THE
NORTH EAST FOOTBALL ACADEMY

With an exciting range of football skills courses, goalkeeping specific courses and World Cup days, we offer tailored coaching for both boys and girls aged 5-11 years old.
These are a fantastic way for children to stay active, meet new friends and most importantly have fun in a safe and secure environment. Our coaches are highly trained to deliver exciting and innovative sessions, ensuring each child develops new skills at their own pace.
Welcoming players of all abilities, we encourage beginners as well as nurturing our future footballing stars!
