Bangor FC Training Academy returns May 6th!
Exclusive to registered Bangor FC players, the Academy teaches fundamental football skills in a fun and social environment.

Under the supervision of our professional coaching team, Eddie Briscoe and David “DJ” James, Academy members receive personalised coaching and support, helping them to refine their skills and elevate their game.

We will be based at our Billa Road facilities.
Will a kit be provided?
No. An academy shirt is available for purchase at a cost of $35. At a minimum, players must bring football boots, shin pads and a water bottle to each session.
What happens to my normal midweek training session?
Nothing, the Academy is an additional option available to your child to complement our existing structure. Each Bangor FC team will as normal be provided with a training session and play a competitive game at the weekend.
What squad will my child participate in?
The coaching team will determine the squad based on your child’s ability. Regardless of the squad selected, due to the small number of players in each session, our coaches will be focused on individual development.
For Term 1, the coaching staff will make an assessment during the first session and allocate each child to either the Development squad or the Advanced squad. This will determine if your child will be attending the Monday sessions (Development) or Friday sessions (Advanced).

Yes, this programme is exclusive to registered Bangor FC players only.
How much is it and how can I pay?
