At FCV International Football Academy, we are dedicated to providing a comprehensive and enriching experience that prepares our students for success both on and off the pitch. Through top-tier coaching, academic support, and a structured lifestyle, we equip our players with the skills, discipline, and mindset needed to excel in football and beyond.
The health, safety, and well-being of our students are paramount at FCV International Football Academy. We understand that a strong support system is essential for our players to thrive, both on and off the pitch. Leading this effort is our Head of Welfare and Student Services, Katie Wilton, who is dedicated to ensuring that each student feels supported, valued, and cared for throughout their time at the academy.
Katie, along with our residential team, provides a nurturing and structured environment, offering guidance and assistance to help students adjust to academy life, manage their well-being, and develop essential life skills. Whether it’s emotional support, personal development, or simply a listening ear, our team is always available to help students navigate their journey.
In addition to this, we recognise the physical demands of high-level football and the importance of injury prevention, treatment, and recovery. That’s why we have Tom Mears, our dedicated full-time sports therapist, who provides expert care for sports-related injuries. From rehabilitation programs to injury prevention strategies, Tom works closely with our players to ensure they receive the best possible treatment and guidance to stay in peak condition. His expertise allows students to recover efficiently while minimizing downtime, so they can return to training stronger and more prepared.
AccommodationLocated within the stunning Grace Dieu Manor Park, our on-site accommodation provides a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where students can focus on their football and personal development. We offer both twin shared and single rooms, ensuring that students have a space that suits their needs.
Students have access to communal lounge areas, where they can relax, socialise, and build lasting friendships with their teammates. These shared spaces help build a strong sense of community within the academy, creating a supportive and engaging atmosphere.
A key feature of our accommodation is the Players’ Hub, a dedicated space where students can unwind, interact, and enjoy recreational activities. The hub is designed to be a central meeting point for players, promoting team bonding outside of training. Whether watching football matches, playing games, or simply catching up with friends, the Players’ Hub is an integral part of academy life.
We also prioritise student safety and security. Our accommodation is equipped with CCTV surveillance, fire alarms, and secure locks on all rooms to ensure a safe living environment. Our residential team is on-site to provide supervision and support, helping students settle in and maintain a structured daily routine.
Nutrition is a key pillar of athletic performance, and our on-site chefs prepare three balanced meals daily, ensuring players receive the fuel they need to train and recover effectively. Each day begins with a hot breakfast, providing essential energy, followed by lunches and dinners tailored to support muscle recovery and endurance. We also provide pre-match meals, specifically designed to optimise energy levels for game days.
Our academy boasts excellent facilities to support both training and leisure activities. Students have exclusive access to full-size and small-sided football pitches, a sports hall for versatile training sessions, a well-equipped gym, and an indoor swimming pool. These amenities are designed to enhance the training experience and overall well-being of our students.
We believe in the importance of broadening our students’ horizons beyond the football field. Optional excursions are organised to various attractions, including Premier League and international matches, stadium tours of iconic venues like Wembley and Old Trafford, and recreational activities such as cinema visits, ten-pin bowling, and team-building outings. These experiences enrich our students’ cultural understanding and provide enjoyable breaks from their training and education schedules.
At FCV International Football Academy, we provide a professional, supportive, and enriching environment where players can develop their footballing ability while gaining valuable life skills. With top-tier coaching, excellent facilities, and a strong support network, we ensure every student has the best opportunity to succeed. Join us and take the next step towards your footballing future!
