Former PlayerSigned to a professional academy
Academy One is a leading football academy delivering UEFA-licensed coaching and a professional-club environment for players across West Yorkshire, built on physical and technical development that produces results.
Everything we build, from our first Development Centre session to a JPL fixture, is measured against the same standard.
Players are encouraged to take the ball, try the pass, and back themselves, on the pitch and in life.
Talent is respected, not assumed. Every player works for their place, from the Development Centre to first team.
We coach individuality. Technical freedom is built through repetition, not restricted by instruction.
Standards are high because players want to be here. Enjoyment is the foundation of long-term development.
Three programmes, one standard: a professional-club environment built around physical and technical development.
Our flagship programme. Players train twice a week in a professional-club environment, compete in JPL fixtures, and face professional academy opposition in regular showcase matches.
Focused, small-group sessions built around physical and technical work, designed to accelerate individual development alongside main academy training.
The entry point into the Academy One pathway, building technical foundations and a love of the game in a structured, professional environment.
Prestigious, highly-regarded coaches who bring a professional club standard to every session.
UEFA-licensed and widely respected across the region, Andy leads the Academy One coaching programme with a focus on technical development and professional standards.
UEFA-licensed with a reputation for developing players who go on to sign for professional academies, Liam drives the physical and tactical development pathway.
Our pathway has produced a number of success stories, players who've gone on to sign for professional club academies.

The technical detail in every session pushed my son further than we thought possible in two years.
Winning the JPL National Championship was special, but what stays with the players is how they were coached to get there.
