Get Started

Welcome to Shield Academy

Children are being introduced to football earlier than ever. It is therefore vital that the parent has an understanding of the whether the club their children play for is the right one, in order to ensure that the club they join their child to will provide a great environment and experience for competitive football.

Shield Academy was created in 2007, by Dan Seymour, Matt Harding & the late Richard Fox. Shield’s aim was (and still is) to encourage the improving coaching standards, and to provide a positive football environment for everyone, regardless of who they are, and who they play for. Our ultimate aim is to encourage our players to be confident, competent and strong decision-makers.
