what we do

At Spruce Academy, we deliver structured, high quality training designed to support long-term player development.

Sessions are built around technical development, decision-making, confidence and mindset —helping players build strong foundations for the next level of their journey.

Players train in small groups to ensure individual attention, progression, and a positive learning environment.

player pathway

We believe that football should be a foundation for growth — not just competition.

Our aim is to support players who want to improve, grow and, progress.

We work closely with players to develop the areas they need to succeed —technically physically, and mentally. Where appropriate, we guide and prepare players for academy environments and higher levels of the game.

Progression looks different for every player and we take pride in supporting each individual journey.

“BUILDING ROOTS GROWING TALENT”

Our tagline is not just a phrase — it is our promise to nurture every child’s foundation so they can grow into their full potential.
