Brentford FC Community Sports Trust is delighted to announce that we will be launching a new Post 16 Football Education Academy from September 2025.

The two-year course will provide released academy players and high potential grassroots players with a full-time offer that combines academic learning, elite level training, coach education and employment pathways.

The programme will be delivered at the Trust's Community Stadium Hub education centre, our training facility at Gunnersbury Park Sports Hub and the Brentford FC Training Ground for fixtures.

Our full-time programme will consist of the following:

  • Football training, fixtures and strength & conditioning

  • Academic Education

  • Coach Development

  • Employability pathways

The aim of the programme is to provide students with progression pathways into three core areas:

  • Reintegration into professional football

  • Further Education

  • Coaching and Employment
