History of the academy

The Stamford Football Academy is part of the educational project of World Football Schools, an institution with more than 25 years of experience developing international camps and comprehensive football and education programs.

Since 2015, they have welcomed international students to Stamford, offering a unique combination of high-level football. They have recently joined forces with Stamford School, one of the most prestigious schools in England, founded in 1532, to offer a British education.

The academy’s goal is to offer young people between the ages of 13 and 16 the opportunity to develop their football potential in a professional environment, while continuing their academic training in an internationally recognized system.

Training program

At the Stamford High Performance Soccer Academy, the goal is to develop talent with a professional and comprehensive approach. Its program is designed to develop soccer players by combining technical excellence with physical, mental, and tactical growth.

From an early age, the program follows a structured plan adapted to each player’s level and stage of development. Sessions are intensive, with daily training that combines individual technique, team automation, and real-life game situations. Each exercise has a clear purpose: to improve the quality of execution, decision-making under pressure, and understanding of the game from different positions and systems.

In addition to on-field work, modern tools such as video analysis are incorporated to correct details and fine-tune tactical aspects. Students also receive professional support in physical preparation, nutrition, sports psychology, and injury prevention, understanding that optimal performance is the result of a balance between body and mind.

A competitive environment is a key part of training. Players regularly participate in matches and tournaments against other academies and clubs, allowing them to measure their progress, gain experience in demanding environments, and, above all, learn to compete with a winning mentality and respect for their opponents.

But the mission goes beyond immediate performance. This academy supports each young person in their academic, emotional, and personal development. The goal is to develop not only good soccer players, but also people of integrity, responsibility, and prepared to face the challenges of high performance, on or off the field.

Program Objectives

To enhance individual technical skills (control, passing, shooting, dribbling, etc.).
To develop tactical intelligence and decision-making.
To optimize physical performance with specific training for each stage of development.
To develop soccer players with a winning mentality, discipline, and sporting values.
To facilitate access to professional club scouts and international scholarships.

Training Structure

Daily high-intensity training sessions (Monday to Friday).
Specific sessions: individual technique, group tactics, physical preparation, and sports psychology.
Video analysis and match review to improve decision-making.
Competitive matches each week against local/national academies and clubs.
Personalized plans based on the player’s position and profile.

How to enroll in the Stamford Football Academy?

Option 1 – Recommended: In-person tryout

The most recommended option is to participate in a short-term program during the summer. This allows the player to experience the staff and the day-to-day life of the academy before spending a long period training at the center. The academy can also get to know the player and assess his or her level more closely.

Option 2: Online Registration

Students who are unable to attend a short-term program to try out the academy can begin their online registration process. This option requires proof of the player’s level and competitive experience so the staff can assess their suitability for the long-term program.

Program dates and prices

Long-term programs are 3, 6, or 9 months. The season runs from September to June. If you’d like to participate in a shorter program, please contact us.
