Boys Academy
Our Boys Academy was launched in 2012, and is proud of its success and the players who have developed through the ranks.
We are committed to developing an Academy that has a strong local base, that is proud of its heritage and is dedicated to providing opportunities to local players whilst also attracting players from the wider area because of its reputation and strong values.
Starting at Under 6s, we support young players’ development through to Under 19s with our successful player pathway programme.
Our Teams
“My time at my local club Weston-super-Mare AFC is a definite highlight of my career, to have been able to progress through the junior and academy structure, into the first team, shows the standard of coaching available at the Club. I have always had the right attitude and dedication to football and that along with the coaching has helped me progress to full time football with Barnsley FC.”
