At FSD Academy we offer Diplomas in Sport, taught by leading experts in sport science, setting you on the path towards a successful career in the sports industry.

The Diploma in Sport is the perfect entry point for youngsters who want to launch their career in sport. It offers a pathway to university, sport apprenticeships, coaching and work placements, and many of our former students have gone on to work within the FSD academy as coaches and mentors.

Alongside the development of your professional and key football skills, we’ll also support you in your emotional development.

We’ll teach you transferable skills to help you later on in life, while we specialise in boosting self-confidence, self-esteem and mental wellbeing. We’re also big believers in the power of living a healthy lifestyle, and we’ll promote this through bespoke food, diet and nutritional programmes.

A positive, friendly and inclusive environment

At FSD Academy we don’t care what sort of background you come from or whether you’re the next Cristiano Ronaldo.

We are open to young people of all abilities, while many of our students come from inner city communities. This includes members or low income families, young people who are vulnerable or differently abled, as well as diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. We have particular experience in working with young people who are at risk of being excluded from school.
