More than a club

Football is the middle of it, not the whole of it. A few of the things the academy's families do together. This page is updated once a season, so the latest is always on the club's Facebook page.

Quiz nights

Through the year

A table of parents, a raffle on the night, and a few rounds nobody can agree on.

Before training

Some of the squads run the Jordanstown park run before training, for extra fitness. Then it's straight on to the pitch.

Off they go: nine seconds, no sound

End of season

An afternoon kicking a football round a foot golf course in the sun. Some of it even landed near the flag.
