Herne Bay Football Club

Community Football Academy

The Academy

Herne Bay Football Club’s Community Football Academy is part of Herne Bay Football Club and is run as a 'not-for-profit' venture. The Academy is continuously expanding its activities and its volunteer base. It is a forward‐thinking organisation delivering sport, through football, to the local community and encouraging participation in sport amongst people of all ages and abilities.

The Academy’s activities cover two main thrusts. Firstly, it encourages participation within the local community, by all children of all ages, both sexes, regardless of background or ability, but it also pursues a model of sporting excellence, to allow the talented local boys and girls a platform from which to reach their individual goals and play the sport at the highest possible level. Secondly to encourage adults within the local community to volunteer to be trained as community coaches and also to participate in Ladies, veteran and disabled football programmes.

The key objectives around player participation are to focus on maintaining and sustaining Community Football in the Herne Bay area, whilst ensuring the programmes are stimulating, fun, safe and accessible to age groups from three years to adult.

Anthony Deer is the Community Football Academy Manager. He is also Reserve Team and Football Developement Manager.
