The Diploma in Sport is the perfect entry point for youngsters who want to launch their career in sport. It offers a pathway to university, sport apprenticeships, coaching and work placements, and many of our former students have gone on to work within the FSD academy as coaches and mentors.

We believe that playing the game to a high level, as well as learning about it in the classroom, will enhance student development.

As well as education, our courses also include six hours of football training per week, strength and conditioning sessions in the gym, and matches.

Students will line up against other Future Lions Education teams in our U19 Future Lions League, as well as against local teams in their region in both league and cup competitions, with opportunities to be scouted by clubs in the Premier League and English Football League.
