Ethos & Vision

Helping young players see “Dare to Dream.”

This is made possible by our highly experienced and qualified coaches, backroom staff, partners, and investors.

Through our connections with professional clubs, semi-professional clubs, and universities, our players have realistic goals and life-enhancing opportunities created through their football talents.

We encourage our players to pursue professional and semi-professional careers or university scholarships in the UK and abroad.

Our Development Centre competes against teams that challenge them, including pro academies and other academies.

Barnhurst Development Centre players are taught to play football, not just to win at the cost of player development.

We aim to be different by integrating inner-city children with those from surrounding areas, creating teams from diverse social and economic backgrounds. We break financial and socio-economic barriers common in UK development centres, thanks to our investors, partners, and location.

Barnhurst Development Centre operates a yearly coaching plan and a consistent playing style across all age groups, similar to that of professional clubs.
