Welcome to Shield Academy
Children play football earlier than ever! It is essential that parents/carers can determine whether the club is best suited to their child.
Shield Academy was created in 2007, by Dan Seymour, Matt Harding & the late Richard Fox. Our aim was (and still is) to improve coaching standards, and to provide a positive football environment for all. We are committed to encouraging our players to be technically comfortable, confident and innovative players.
