Elite Football Academy Programmes

Carshalton Boys Sports College is proud to offer two dedicated Football Academy pathways for talented players, delivered alongside a full Sixth Form academic programme.

Both academies follow a professional two-year development pathway, combining technical, tactical, physical and psychological development with genuine flexibility to study any A-Level or Level 3 courses on offer — because a serious football pathway shouldn't mean a narrower education.

Boys Football Academy
Delivered in association with Chelsea Football Club Foundation, our established programme offers players a professional training environment, Chelsea-branded kit, visits to Chelsea's training facilities, and competition in the Youth Development League.

Girls Football Academy
Launching September 2027, our new Girls Football Academy extends the same professional development pathway to talented young female footballers — combining elite coaching with a full Sixth Form education.
