About Us

The TSC Football Academy was formed in 2011 by Head Coach Seb Tidey to provide professional coaching for young football players in the Thanet area.

TSC Football Academy was set up to push those gifted and talented players onto the next level. The aim of the academy is to coach the more advanced football players and progress them on to the next level. The Academy players still play for their club teams and play occasional fixtures against professional clubs for the academy. So far the Academy has competed against Gillingham FC, Crystal Palace FC and West Ham United. To date, 26 TSC players have gone on to be signed by these professional clubs.

TSC now employ a number of excellent coaches, who all have high level qualifications and experience of working in the program. By ensuring we have such a talented pool of coaching staff, this allows us to help all players attending our sessions to reach their potential. This may be for players looking to push into the professional game, or just for players looking to develop their basic skills and enjoy playing with their friends.

Over the years we have also run a variety of European Tours. These experiences help our players compete with teams from across the world and from different cultures. Our tours have included numerous trips to Barcelona, Holland and Belgium in recent years.

Due to the success of the original academy based in Thanet a new venue in Faversham was opened for the start of the 2013/14 season, with Sittingbourne and Gillingham starting in the 2018/19 Season.

TSC also provides a large multi-sport schools programme in Kent as well as a Rugby Academy.
