Over 40 registered sides from U7s > U23s across Boys and Girls/Male and Female our aims

We run a unique SEND Sports & Education programme with Heart of Birmingham Vocational College, the only registered one in the Midlands. This has been a huge success in it’s first year with the size of it set to double next academic year. We have just set up a Degree programme so those on our mainstream Football & Education can progress onto that after they turn 18-19 years old.

• Increase our prescence in Schools

• Our U23s mirroring the first team set up

• Larger students numbers on our Degree programme

• Securing another 3G/ Grass pitch venue for our U7 - U16 Junior sides
