OUR SESSIONS

All of our sessions offer something different but individual development is at the core of everything we do. We want each child to achieve their goals in football and sport. We feel sport and football can teach valuable lessons that can be applied to pretty much any walk of life and so we aim to aid in each individuals growth on and off the pitch.

Advanced Sessions (invite) 

Our Advanced Sessions are crafted to provide gifted players with an exceptional platform to thrive. We are thrilled to share that our Advanced program is set to launch in September 2025 at the Herne Bay Sports Hub on Monday evenings. This program will include weekly training sessions throughout term time, as well as showcase fixtures and tournaments, with certain events tailored specifically for our advanced groups. Our goal is to elevate these players’ skills to new heights, selecting talent from our three development centres to form this program, while also inviting players for trials. If you are interested, please reach out to us for a trial opportunity. In the first year, we will be accepting players aged U7 to U11, with plans to extend the program to additional age groups and locations in the future.

what They’re Saying

Client Testimonials

I cannot reccommend Starters FA more highly. Having been to many other local academies but not being able to find the right fit for our son, we moved him to starters on the advice of the head scout at the Millwall Academy. Will welcomed Buster in from day one and made him feel extremley comfortable, he takes the time to talk to him at the start of the sessions and takes a real interest in what he’s been up to that week, not just about football. Buster looks forward to every session that he has with Starters, they are well structured & professional whilst maintaining an element of fun and enjoyment. 

Starters has a real family feel to it, the children are taught in a caring & nuturing environment where their individual needs and progression are put first. whether kids are just starting on their football journey or considered elite Starters ensure they are all treated the same. 

Since Buster has been signed to a professional academy, will still takes the time to message us to see how he is progressing & to invite him to any extra sessions.
