Why choose Pro Elite Academy
What players say
I got released by a pro club at 15 and thought that might be it for me. This gave me the chance to keep playing in a full-time environment, and I came out the other end with the qualifications I needed to go on and do a degree as well.
A fantastic programme with a real focus on academics alongside the football. I was initially concerned that education wouldn't be taken seriously in a set-up like this, but the two genuinely go hand in hand here.
