Buckswood School Football Academy - end of term update

The Buckswood football academy have had a very busy first term. After a slow start to the year and a couple of early losses, teams started to progress and have finished the term in good form with an exciting term 2 coming up.

The 6th form 1st team has been progressing well within the National AoC league and Sussex county League. They have progressed through to the County Cup Quarter finals, due to be played next term. Outstanding performances against Leyton Orient and L7 Academy have ensured progression in the AoC Mens Knockout Competition.

The Under 15 and Under 16 have ended the year as quarter finalists in their respective Independent schools FA competitions. Both teams also performed well in the English Schools FA national cup both beating local rivals Claremont to get through to the 3rd round.

The academy has also travelled to watch a Premier league Game between Brighton and Leeds. This was an entertaining match to watch, which gave players a chance to see the level of performance required to be a professional and the different approaches to the game by both teams.

As we look forward to the Christmas break and the new term, we have lots to look forward too. Our teams will be hoping to reach the latter stages of the competitions they have entered, our new Astro turf will be available, after delays due to the weather and we have trips planned including the Seniors tour of Dubai and Forms 1 to 5 to Manchester, which will give our players the chance to play against varied opposition and further their football development.

We also have an exciting possible partnership with PlayerData, who will supply GPS technology that will be made available to players in the academy who are looking to push themselves further. Further info will be sent out shortly.

Lastly the individual Player development plans for the term will be sent out to parents shortly, which will include Coach feedback and highlight any concerns or areas for improvement based on observations at training and games this term.
