Grassroots football & cricket coaching built on safety, friendship and a genuine pathway to the game — right here in the local community.
Young Eagles Sports Academy began in 2023 with a simple goal: give children a safe, well-supervised outdoor space to fall in love with sport, make friends, and grow as people — starting with our own kids, and quickly growing into something bigger.
What started as weekly football sessions has grown into a genuine community hub. We now run cricket alongside football, and proudly work with Five Lions Taekwondo and Sunnah Grappling to introduce children to disciplines beyond bat and ball.
In 2026, we became an official feeder programme for Coventry Star Belgrade’s Under 12s, giving our most committed young players a genuine pathway from grassroots sessions into competitive club football.
Today’s children are spending far less time playing outside than generations before them — and it’s taking a toll.
Young Eagles Sports Academy is built for children from Year 1 to Year 9 (ages 5–14) — whether they dream of playing competitively, want to make new friends, or simply want to run around and have fun. There’s a place here for every child, whatever “getting into sport” looks like for them.
We started this academy because we saw a real problem: kids today spend more time indoors on screens and less time playing outside than any generation before them. That shift doesn’t just mean less exercise — it’s increasingly linked to real struggles with children’s mental health and wellbeing.
Our sessions exist to reverse that. We get children outdoors, into a social environment with their peers, learning new skills and building confidence — benefits that go well beyond fitness, supporting them physically, mentally and emotionally.
