SUCCESS FROM THE START
Our success story started as a bit of fun, kicking a ball about in a local park during summer holidays. Our unique coaching skills were loved by kids and impressed parents so much that regular coaching sessions were requested – thus KEY Sports Academy was born!”
In less than 6 months we had grown from 20 to 120 players per week.
By 18 months over 250 weekly players of all ages had joined, as well as a competitive football club.

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. He also teaches children with special needs and disabilities in a local school.

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.
