Woking FC have run a Youth team for many years, and in 2003 the Club established a collaboration with Woking College to help talented young footballers make progress in their sporting careers whilst continuing with their academic studies.

The original scheme included 6 hours of coaching per week by fully-qualified UEFA 'A' licence coaches whilst the boys also studied for a BTEC National Diploma in Sports.

For the season 2010/11 the Academy will operate out of Woking College, Guildford County School and Fullbrook School, the range of subjects has been expanded to include 'A' Levels and an NVQ in Sports Coaching.

The Academy will be running five teams: there will be one team in the U18 Southern Youth League (playing as Westfield FC); one in the U18 Ryman Youth League; one in the U19 English Colleges League and one in the U19 Football Conference Youth League and, in addition, we will be managing the Woking Reserves playing in the Suburban Football League.

Since its inception in 2003 the newly-structured Academy has been hugely successful and last season was no exception as the Academy won two League titles, two Cup Finals and were finalists in two other competitions.

More significantly the 2010/11 1st Team squad consists of ten contract and non-contract players who have come through the Academy Youth system.

The Academy is attempting to be a self-financing structure and a range of opportunities to sponsor the Academy are available - please contact Dennis North on 01932 883880.
