After having had in the pipeline for around two years, itโ€™s so fulfilling to take a moment to look at this picture and see things finally take shape in such a positive manner. I started up this business believing that a family-orientated, professional Academy committed to developing playerโ€™s wellbeing would thrive in Northampton. Every week this has proven to be the case, with mo

re players attending every session. More doors seem to be opening every day, and Bradders Academy will continue to develop, expand, and provide your children with outstanding coaching. Stay tuned for some exciting developments in the very near future!

Over the coming weeks, weโ€™ll also be celebrating several players who have been with Bradders Academy since they were just 4 years old and are now moving on to grassroots teams. Seeing them leave us with confidence, strong fundamentals and a real love for the game is exactly why Bradders Academy exists.

A week ago our good friend JM Performance threw down the challengeโ€ฆ and we couldnโ€™t ignore it! ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ”ฅ

From Scotland to England, two football families, two academies, one love for the game. ๐ŸŒโšฝ

After seeing the JM Performance players hit the crossbar 6 times, the pressure was onโ€ฆ

So the Bradders Academy team stepped upโ€ฆ

๐ŸŽฏ 6โ€ฆ 7โ€ฆ WEโ€™LL TAKE THE WIN! ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ˜‚

But the real winner is the amazing journey weโ€™re both on โ€” building football communities, developing young players and creating memories for children in our own countries.

John, youโ€™re not just a competitor, youโ€™re a great friend. From visiting each otherโ€™s camps to sharing ideas and supporting each otherโ€™s journeys, this is what football is all about. ๐Ÿ’š

Until the next challengeโ€ฆ Scotland, weโ€™ll see you soon! ๐Ÿ‘€โšฝ
