Esher Kicks Off Specialist Football Pathway

This Specialist Football Pathway provides exceptional players at the College with the opportunity to compete in a football academy league at the same time as studying for A Levels or a BTEC equivalent, optimising their progression opportunities.

Under the guidance of UEFA-qualified coaches, participants will train and play weekly in the Tactic League and compete in AoC cup competitions. This comprehensive approach ensures our players receive top-tier football training alongside their A Level and/or BTEC studies, offering students a robust educational foundation and clear pathways for future success. In addition to their academic and athletic commitments, players will gain valuable real-world experience through sports industry placements and coaching opportunities.

Dani Knight, Head of PE and Sport at Esher Sixth Form College, expressed enthusiasm about the initiative: “We are excited to showcase the exceptional standard of football we have here at the College and provide a pathway for our footballers who want to experience an academy league while fulfilling their academic progression.”

This programme not only enhances players’ football skills but also equips them with academic and professional experiences, setting them up for success both on and off the field.
