Academy

We inspire, nurture and develop future football superstars with innovative coaching excellence, both on and off the pitch - regardless of ability, gender or age - from 18 months to grown ups.

SUCCESS FROM THE START

Our success story started off as a bit of fun and kicking a football in Victoria park during summer holidays.

The kids absolutely loved our passion and unique coaching skills, whilst the parents were impressed so much they demanded weekly coaching sessions – and just like that KEY Sports Academy was born!

The word on the street spread like wildfire and our classes increased from 20 to 120 players per week in less than 6 months.

Fast forward to 18 months and coaching over 250 players per week, we also formed KEY Sports Football Club with competitive teams playing in a local youth league.

Our weekly outdoor sessions run all year round, we don’t stop during school holidays.

HEAD COACHCOACH BORJA

Coach Borja is an exceptionally talented  coach with over 12 years of international experience, including Spain, Germany and Austria. 

His Spanish passion and love for football, as well as superb work-ethics, make Borja by far the most dedicated coach at KEY Sports,  which deservedly earned him ” Humphrey & Brand – Coach of the Year Award”  in 2020.⁣

UEFA B qualified coach with Masters in Physical Education Teaching, Borja  has coached players from grassroots up to youth level at various top international academies, including Real Madrid FC Football Clinics and most recently Chelsea FC, as their PAN disability coach.

Coach Rachael

SENIOR SPECIALIST GK COACHCOACH RACHAEL

The newest member of our team, Coach Rachael is an absolute power-house and certainly our most passionate (and qualified!) coach, with UEFA A Goalkeeping & UEFA B licences.

Her impressive professional career of over 16 years as an international player & goalkeeper in Finland and Nigeria, has seen Rachael participate in the world’s most prestigious competitions, including Beijing Olympics  2008,  Women’s World Cup and UEFA Champions League.

Coach Rachael’s extensive knowledge of the game as a recently retired professional player, enables her to implement fresh ideas with latest techniques and tactics.

Already a huge hit with our players, Rachael currently coaches Sunday Academy and our grassroots FC teams with weekly specialist GK sessions – U7s to U11s.
