Three Bridges will launch a Post-16 Football & Education Academy in September 2027, open to current Year 11 students and based at the club's ground in Crawley.
The programme combines UEFA-qualified coaching with a Level 3 qualification in Sport & Physical Activity (Sports Coaching), delivered with JACE Training. Players will take part in competitive college league football and have the chance to represent the club's Under-18s, who compete in the FA Youth Cup. Students will also have access to Veo analysis, GPS tracking and performance support, alongside a potential pathway into the Step 3 first team.
An open trial and information evening will be held at the ground on Wednesday 16 December 2026, from 5pm to 8pm. It will include a practical football session and an academy presentation for players and parents.
