The successful Yaxley-based set-up, run by former professional player and UEFA ‘A’ Licence coach Dom Genovese, is launching a girls’ academy to begin in the new academic year from September, 2018.

The football and education programme allows school-leavers the chance to study for a BTEC Diploma in Sports Level 3 as well as the FA Coaching Certificate Level 1 and will run alongside the long-standing boys’ academy at In2itive Park.
