Job Description
The Chesham United Football Academy offers 16-19 year olds a two year complete Sporting and Football Education programme. The Academy is designed for post-GCSE students so those currently in school year 11 are eligible for entry in this first intake.
This is an excellent opportunity for any person interested in pursuing a career in football, but can also provide exit routes into other sports.

The Academy has 3 key components: Football, Coach Education and Academic studies, the full time schedule will ensure that all students will achieve both their sporting and academic goals.
LEARN – Study towards a BTEC in Sport (worth up to 3 A Levels) and worldwide recognised coaching/instructing qualifications.

TRAIN – Regular coaching to develop technical, tactical and physical ability.
PLAY – Represent the academy in the Tactic Premier League and Cup competitions whilst also offering routes to Chesham United senior teams.
