Calling all football fanatics in Milton Keynes! If you’re a student with a burning love for the beautiful game, then listen up. Envision this – the Paris Saint-Germain Academy UK has partnered up with a school in Bletchley to offer Sixth Form students an extraordinary chance to elevate their soccer prowess to new heights.
Picture this: students at Lord Grey Academy now have the thrilling opportunity to immerse themselves in a first-class football programme right here in Bletchley. How incredible is that? This programme guarantees a minimum of five hours of top-tier coaching each week, and that’s not all. Players will strut their stuff in the official Paris Saint-Germain Academy kit during their sessions, receive guidance from UEFA qualified coaching staff, and even compete in thrilling friendlies and tournaments throughout the year. And guess what? They could even clinch the esteemed Player of the Month title and snag an official PSG football shirt. Now, that’s a goal worth aiming for, isn’t it?
For nearly a decade, the Paris Saint-Germain Academy has been causing a stir in the UK, offering holiday camps, after-school development programmes, and mentorship. And guess what? They’ve already left their mark on the football scene in London, Essex, Wales, Manchester, and Derbyshire, and now they’ve set their sights on Milton Keynes.
And here’s the cherry on top – the Academy embraces a philosophy of being ‘Open to All’, emphasising the building of player pathways within the educational system. Their coaching follows the PSG Methodology, allowing players to kick it off the ‘Parisian way’. Not to mention, they offer Nutrition Booklets, Wellbeing workshops, Strength & Conditioning sessions, and even Football Themed French Dictionaries. Now, that’s seriously cool.
A spokesperson for the Academy said, “We understand that not every aspiring footballer will make it to the professional level. But as an Academy, we’re dedicated to ensuring that players of all ages are aware of the myriad opportunities within the game.”
Incredibly, they’ve formed an exclusive partnership with Lord Grey Academy to introduce the Parisian style of football to students during lunch and after-school sessions, player development programmes, and even through the Sixth Form as part of the Paris Saint-Germain Academy x Lord Grey Sixth Form programme.
Does this sound like a dream come true? Well, brace yourselves because trials are on the horizon in January, but make sure to register soon as spaces are limited. The first trial for Year 11 students will kick off on January 16 from 4pm to 5.30pm. For more information, you can visit their website or better yet, attend the Lord Grey Sixth Form Open Evening on January 25, from 4pm to 7.30pm.
Alright, Milton Keynes football aficionados, it’s time to gear up and flaunt your skills – the Parisian way!
