We are delighted to announce the launch of a brand-new Football & Education Programme in partnership with Salford City FC, starting in September 2026.
The new BTEC programme, hosted by the official charity of Salford City FC & taught by staff at UA92 has been designed to provide ambitious young people with the opportunity to combine academic study with football development in a professional and supportive environment.
The programme will offer students the chance to gain a recognised BTEC Level 3 qualification in Sports Coaching (Extended Diploma), while developing their football ability through regular training, competitive fixtures and performance-based coaching.
Based within a professional football environment, students will benefit from:
- Expert coaching and player development
- Competitive football opportunities
- Leadership and personal development
- Pathways into university, coaching and careers in sport
The programme is aimed at Year 11 students, aspiring footballers and young people passionate about building a future within the sports industry.
To officially launch the programme, we will be hosting an open trial event on 29th May 2026 (4pm-6pm) at Salford Sports Village for prospective students interested in joining the September intake.
The trial will provide participants with an opportunity to experience the programme environment, meet coaching staff and learn more about the educational and football pathways available.
CEO of the official charity of Salford City FC, Martin Ingham-Griffith said:
“This programme represents a fantastic opportunity for young people across Salford and beyond to continue their education while developing within a professional football setting. We’re excited to support students both academically and personally as they work towards their future goals.”
Applications for September 2026 are now open.
