FOOTBALL ACADEMY

Basingstoke Town Football Club has developed, in partnership with BCoT, the Basingstoke Town Youth Academy. This is a 3 year initiative to develop the future players of Basingstoke Town FC. The selected players will train and study together every day on a 3 year sports course specifically designed for the Academy players and play in the Football Conference Youth League. This opportunity will only be open to 16 players every year and they must study at BCoT on the designated course. At the end of the course they will receive a BTEC National Diploma in Sport, various other sporting qualifications and also a firm grounding of football coaching which may lead to a place in Basingstoke Town’s first team squad.
