The Soccer Elite FA Post-16 Education & Football Programme is a full time academic and football course for 16-19 year olds, combining high level professional football coaching with a wide variety of academic and practical subjects / qualifications.
SEFA has been delivering its Post-16 Education and Football programme since 2010. Across our three boys’ venues, we have courses suitable for all learners, with A-Level, NCFE, Maths and English Functional Skills and football coaching courses / qualifications available. These qualifications provide pathways into British universities, American college scholarships and work within SEFA and the wider world.
On the pitch, our UEFA-qualified staff deliver a proven but ever-evolving football programme, providing each individual with everything required to maximise their footballing potential.
Open to all players currently in school years 10-13 interested in joining the SEFA Education & Football Programme.
Students interested in our school sixth form sites must also apply to the school itself.
The education and football elements of the Programme are fully funded. The only cost to students / parents / guardians is kit and travel to and from your base education site. Travel bursaries are available to eligible students.
