Kinetic Academy Football Scholarship

Kinetic Foundation are delighted to announce a new partnership with HCACP to offer an individualised, innovative football and education programme for 16-18 year olds.

As a registered charity, Kinetic Foundation adopt a holistic approach to develop each young person as a ‘whole’ rather than from just a technical or tactical component. Alongside our excellent football provision we deliver a volunteering programme, mentoring scheme, mental health support pillar and employability workshops on career planning.

Register your interest for our sports programmes here.

The Kinetic foundation has completed a successful first year of its football academy at HCACP, with over 50 students enrolled. "The programme offers first class coaching from highly qualified staff, with programmes for abilities," says Mr Buss, Associate Assistant Principal. "This is a programme that goes beyond football, with volunteering and mentoring opportunities too."


Education offer

We are able to support whichever academic courses young people wish to undertake without clashing with the training schedule. Pupils can complete traditional A level courses or a wide range of vocational Level 3 options as our bespoke training schedule will take place outside of the timetabled lessons.


Football offer

We employ an extensive, diverse and experienced staff body which consists of UEFA qualified coaches, strength and conditioning experts, sports therapists, youth workers, mentors, life coaches and counsellors.

Kinetic Academy scholars will train for five hours per week and play matches on a Wednesday in either the National Youth Alliance League, Bostik Youth League, FA Youth Cup or the ESFA National Cup.

Kinetic is extremely proud of their track record of supporting young people to secure professional contracts – 37 young people in six seasons have achieved this.
