Directors of coaching Jamie Crellin and Matt Whitehead kickstarted ACE Football Academy in February half-term this year at Monks Recreation Ground.

Now, to meet demand, the duo have opened a second venue at Southwick Football Club for the April half-term sessions.

Jamie said: “In February, we welcomed over 60 children to our first ever football fun course. The feedback was phenomenal and we hadn’t quite realised what we had started.

“To fill one venue is a privilege and really reflects on how successful the first half-term football fun course was, but to fill a second venue is astonishing.”

The two coaches originally set up the company to give something back to the community and help youngsters take a step in the right direction.

During the three-day event, children will be given technical and skills training and take part in tournaments and games.

The course runs from April 7 to 9, 9.30am to 3.10pm, and costs £50, which includes six coaching sessions, a full personalised ACE kit and a feedback progress report.

Additionally, the academy will also be providing new services, including a development centre, tiny tots group and birthday party packages.

Matt said: “To be able to offer our coaching services to not only one community but two is great. We just need to stay focused and keep moving forward.”
