Youth Football Academy

Youth Football Academy

In August 2009, Jesus House ran a football academy for two weeks. Heavily subsidised by Jesus House and open to the local community, the football academy gave the participants the opportunity to get first class coaching from FA qualified football coaches from SAFE Academy football club.

Running from 10am till 1pm at Whitefields Sports School in Cricklewood, boys were shuttled in from Grahame Park Estate each morning.
Local residents and some Jesus House members also attended the academy.

The boys were encouraged not only to build on their football skills but also their character. Along with learning how to shoot, head and control the football, the boys learnt the importance of respecting others and being on time.

All the boys received certificates, trophies and medals were given to those who excelled in specific areas.
