Welcome to Deal Town Football Academy
Deal Town FC, our youth section Deal Town Rangers and Castle Community College have joined forces to offer this scheme, which is open for players who have reaches the end of year 11 (GCSE Year) and wish to go onto further education.
The financial restraints experienced by many professional football clubs means gaining a scholarship at 16 is becoming increasingly competitive. We believe that our scheme offers talented players from all areas along with players released by other academies the opportunity to continue their football development in a professional setup. By playing in the Nationwide Conference Youth League at such an early age there is still the opportunity for these young players to be signed by professional clubs.
We are ideally played to promote players to professional clubs through our established links, and will be looking to expands this in the near future.
Academy students will have the opportunity to gain FA Coaching Qualifications and Sports Leadership Awards that will enhance the opportunity of finding a career within sport and active leisure.
