Football
Overview
Our Football model is a hybrid approach which allows players to combine university studies with playing on the Football Pyramid for Pro and Semi Pro clubs at a variety of levels.
Our Men’s Football Performance team has consistently been challenging to be in the BUCS South Premier division, while our Women’s teams have progressed into promotion chasing sides over the last two years.
Our Men’s scholars have played for clubs such as Swindon, Chesterfield, and Eastleigh during or after their studies at UEL.
Our Women’s programme, led by West Ham Academy coach Alfie Crickmar, has players across Step 3, 4 and 5 of the Pyramid clubs including Dulwich Hamlet, Hashtag United and London Seward. Former scholars have also been part of West Ham at both Senior and Under 23 Level.
What sets the UEL High Performance Programme aside from others is that I'm in and around other top level footballers and so I can learn from them and they can learn from me.
