At Ballers Football Academy, we are dedicated to helping young people of all abilities excel both on and off the pitch. Guided by our experienced and passionate coaching team, our comprehensive programme focuses on developing technical skills, physical fitness, and essential life-skills such as teamwork, resilience, and leadership.
As an independent academy, we offer the flexibility for players to train with us while continuing their commitments with grassroots teams or professional academies.
For us, football is more than just a game—it’s a platform to inspire confidence, build character, and develop lifelong skills that extend beyond the pitch.
Our team brings together FA and UEFA-qualified coaches, former professional footballers, and an award-winning management team—all united by a passion for nurturing young talent. With a mix of professional expertise and first-hand experience, we help players of all abilities develop both on and off the pitch.
At Ballers Academy, our network, regular scout visits, and showcase fixtures give players a real platform to develop and progress. Beyond football, we support senior members in earning qualifications in coaching, refereeing, and youth mentoring—paving the way for careers both in sports and other fields.
At Ballers Academy, our mission is to empower young people through sports and education. From humble beginnings, we’ve grown into a trusted organisation supporting over 1,300 families weekly in South London. We’re proud to help young players build resilience, develop essential skills, and reach their full potential—both on and off the pitch.
