What Comes After Youth Football

Once a player is coming to the end of their youth football career it can be quite daunting figuring out what to do. If they are excelling at football, do they try to become professional, or is it time to focus on colleges and universities?

We are able to help in both aspects, with strong links to professional academies across the UK and Europe as well as colleges and universities around the globe, where your son or daughter can continue playing competitively but also get a great education.

Our player pathway throughout the time they are with BFA is clear, and we help guide them through their football and personal journey as soon as they start with us, wherever that may be.

Where The Pathway Leads

  • USA College Pathways with the International Football Collective
  • UK football and education with Oxford City FC and Truro Academy
  • Future opportunities in Spain connected to Algeciras CF
