THE FOOTBALLCV ACADEMY | TESTIMONIALS

"Four Four Two have worked with FootballCV for several years now in particular with 'Weekend Wonders' where they organised for the winners to play at grounds like Upton Park.

They are the market leaders in running trials for aspiring footballers and the full-time academy they operate provides a marvelous opportunity for players to fulfil their dreams of becoming a pro player. We are delighted to be the Football Academy shirt sponsors for the 2009/10 season. We have also had the opportunity for the 442 team to play at pro clubs in corporate matches and believe our relationship will continue to go from strength to strength"

Terry Holbrook | Former Premier League Referee

“I am excited to experience doing something I love in a different country and environment and I am looking forward to the challenge ahead. Whilst over in the Czech Republic last month, I did notice that the pace of the game was slower, players receive more time on the ball and technique was emphasised”. I wouldn’t have had the opportunity without the FootballCV Academy and would like to thank all the staff for the support and help given to me since I started last September. Through the coaching I have received with Danny Nicholls, Richard Scott and Andy Sinton, I have improved my decision making on the ball and learnt more about team shape and my roles within that. I am now keen to use this knowledge to continue my development at Most”.

Sam Conway |18 year old from Australia, who signed for Czech Replublic club Banik Most after just 6 months at the FootballCV Academy

“When I joined the Academy I had to work hard to break into the team, but with the help of the coaching staff I developed my techniques and held down a starting spot. The FootballCV Academy helped improve my skills allowing me to move on to my current club”.

Tyeler Norbert | Joined Oxford United in the summer of 2009
