6th Form Football Scholarship

Sixth Form Football Scholarship Programme

Our sixth form football scholarship programme provides players with an opportunity to train full time alongside their academy studies. All of our scholarship programmes coaching staff have worked in professional club academies and are full time coaches.

Over the years the scholarship programme has helped develop a large number of players who have gone on to play semi professional football as well as players who are now in the USA on scholarships. See our success stories here.

Starting September 2024 we will be offering an Elite pathway in partnership with Ramsgate Football Club.

The programme gives players the best opportunity of transitioning from youth to adult football, whilst helping them reach their potential.

Ramsgate FC Elite Squad

Our Elite Squad is run in partnership with Ramsgate Football Club.

Ramsgate Football Club have a first team and under 23’s team that have a core of Thanet based players; the club aims to increase the number of local players in their senior squads. The aim of our Elite squad is to provide pathways for players from the area into the Ramsgate FC senior squads. Players who attend the scholarship programme will receive coaching that will help them develop as individuals to help prepare them for the potential step into senior football.

The Elite Squad will play in a similar style to the Ramsgate senior sides to allow for an easier transition, with the Elite squad overseen by our Director of Coaching Seb Tidey who also oversees the senior Football at Ramsgate Football Club.

The Elite squad will form a key part in Ramsgate’s ambitions to develop more homegrown talent and will be constantly monitored by the first team and under 23’s management to provide pathways for players through to the first team.

Training for the Elite Squad will take place at the excellent facilities in the WW Martin Community Stadium, which will also be the venue for home fixtures.
