The Bloomsbury Football Academy gives boys & girls aged 6-18 an opportunity to level up their training & compete on a weekly basis with the best coaches & facilities. The Academy strives for excellence, and no talented young player will ever be turned away for financial reasons.
The Academy is our high intensity pathway which raises the game for grassroots football. We bridge the gap to professional academies. Bloomsbury Academy players have been signed by Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Watford and West Ham.
We support players to progress and achieve their goals, developing not just better footballers but more resilient human beings who have the skills to lead a successful, happier and healthier life.
Boys Academy
Our Boys Academy runs from Under-7 through to Under-18 and is our elite pathway for the most talented young players in London. Our fully qualified coaching team, with vast experience from around the world, delivers an academy programme that rivals that of a professional club. The programme is accessible to all and suited to those looking to take their game to the next level.
Girls Academy
High-quality coaching and regular playing opportunities for all young girls and women in London. We have a professional coaching team, we train in the best facilities, and follow a curriculum that facilitates every young person maximising their potential both on and off the pitch.
Off-Pitch Opportunities
At Bloomsbury Football, we believe that the power of football extends far beyond the sidelines. That is why we create opportunities for our players on & off pitch. We pride ourselves on our off-pitch development, which includes performance analysis and player care. Each year at the end of summer, we take a group of Academy players to the home of English football, St Georges Park, playing in world-class facilities and trying out hydrotherapy. We are looking to extend these opportunities to overseas trips- so watch this space!

Bloomsbury Football was the best experience I had playing football before Watford. We had the best coaches, kit and pitches and it really helped me to improve, especially because of how much football we got every week. It was actually the same amount as I get now at Watford!
Academy Player -
I’ve always been interested in football but I could never find a dedicated girls session – finally being able to participate in regular sport has really helped me get through the COVID crisis
Player (COVID) -
I never thought that one year after coming to London I would be asked for a trial at a Premier League club! Thank you to the coaches at Bloomsbury Football for making my dreams come true!
