Socagemz Football Academy
Why Socagemz Academy?
At Socagemz Academy, all players will train in a child-friendly environment where we expect all players to express themselves in our sessions. We also ensure that all our coaches have been carefully selected based on their experiences and qualifications. The qualifications also include that each coach has an enhanced DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service) check. Not only is training held once a week on Saturdays in Islington, but an additional 6 hours of training is also available at our partner club PFA in Brent cross. Lastly, there are plenty of opportunities to join our team and play in local leagues.
