Langley Football Academy

Boarding at Langley is more than a place to stay – it’s where our Football Academy players live and breathe the game. Many of our boarders are passionate footballers, and they arrive to find a built-in community of like-minded students, making it easy to settle in and feel at home from day one.

After the academic day ends, evenings often come alive with friendly kickabouts on campus and strength and conditioning sessions supported by our dedicated staff. On weekends, boarding makes it easier for students – especially those from further afield or overseas- to play for local and regional clubs, with transport and logistics supported by our Boarding team.

By boarding, players can fully immerse themselves in a football-focused lifestyle, benefiting from constant access to elite training, recovery facilities, and support networks, all without compromising on their academic studies.

Whether you’re joining us from the UK or abroad, boarding helps remove barriers and gives you the structure, support, and opportunity to succeed both on and off the pitch.

Langley is one of the UK’s top football schools with boarding – and that combination matters. We’re not just a Football Academy; we’re a full-time environment where education, development, and lifestyle align.

• Expert Coaching: UEFA-licensed coaches with a proven track record of developing youth players.
• High-Performance Culture: Strength and conditioning, nutrition advice, injury prevention, and performance analysis.
• After-Hours Access: Evening training sessions, gym access, and regular informal play among boarders.
• Academic Excellence: Small class sizes, personalised support, and strong academic results.

At Langley, boarders don’t just attend a football academy – they live it.

Our Football Academy boarding programme is built for students who are serious about the game. From developing technical ability to building resilience and independence, boarding provides the foundations for long-term progression.

Langley alumni have gone on to:

• Join professional academies and clubs
• Earn scholarships at top UK and US universities
• Start careers in coaching, sports science, and physiotherapy

We maintain strong links with clubs, universities, and training programmes to help students map out a future that fits their ambitions.
