ASE moved into the world of football with immediate success, assisting young grassroots footballers progress from grassroots football. The unique academy training system within the football program immediately facilitated over ten players being signed at pro academies including: Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham & Tottenham Hotspur.
ASE has become one of the country’s most successful centres for elite sports performers working with some of the country’s best athletes and footballers. A leading Premiership Academy Director once quoted that, “Between the ages of 12 yrs-16 yrs Spanish, French and Italian players receive, twice as much hours on the ball than their English counterparts, those four years are critical he quotes, the most important years both physically and technically, making it difficult to catch up at 17 yrs-18 yrs.” to which we aim to help reduce the deficit of contact time improving their chances to progress to the next level.
