WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY...

My son Nikola from Bulgaria spent 12 wonderful days attending the August development camp 2018 at FCV Academy. He is leaving happy, full of emotions and motivated to keep up working hard to achieve his goals.

I owe everyone at the Academy a huge thank you as I would not have had this opportunity without your help and guidance.

I learnt a tremendous amount whilst at the Academy and the coaches there helped to make me the player I am today.

I’ve been truly impressed by the setup from the off the field activities, overall care, education, and of course the football.

I am writing to you to express my gratitude and appreciation for your relentless efforts in helping my son, Manny, to secure a two year scholarship with Brentford FC.
