New Chesham United Football Academy - Trials commence
We are delighted to announce that the new Chesham United
Football Academy will be opening for this
academic year.
With recruitment underway from
ll be offering 16-19 year olds a
complete Sporting and Football Education based at
The Meadow, home of Chesham United Football Club.
Chesham United has a great tradition of developing
youth players right from the origins of football in the town.
Over the years many players have gone on to have
successful careers - back in the 1970s a young Kerry
Dixon graced The Meadow whilst more recently players
like Fitz Hall, Wayne Andrews, Ernie Cooksey and
DJ Campbell moved onto the professional game.
Our 2002 youth team captain, John Mousinho, played
for England Schools before going on to Brentford, Wycombe,
Stevenage and currently Burton Albion. In 2012 Chesham
United provided two members of the England Schools'
squad when Tom Fouhy and Ben Mooney were selected,
whilst in 2013 we were delighted to see another of our U18s,
goalkeeper Tom Gowans, make the national schools' side.
Now we are taking another important step with the launch
of the Chesham United Academy which will allow talented
youngsters to maximise their sporting potential whilst securing
a quality education based here at The Meadow.
Chesham United 1st Team manager Andy Leese is enthusiastic
about the latest stage of of the Club's commitment to developing
youth players at Chesham United: "We have made real
progress over the last few seasons with the development
of our set up for young players in the Club. The objective
is to continue to attract local talented players, and providing
a pathway to the 1st team for our own youth section players.
"The senior management all share the philosophy of finding
and developing young players and teaching them the game at
senior level.
"The steps through the levels for a young player are demanding
as the game becomes quicker and more physical, and they have
to develop a mental strength to compete that often belies their years.
"Our aim is to produce talented young players for Chesham
United. Some leave us to go to University, many come back to us.
We have produced three England Schoolboy players in the last 3
seasons, a record of which we are proud. We aim to continue
the progress year on year."
