BUFC Football Academy
Why choose to play football with Boston United Football Club?
At Boston United, we are passionate about developing young football players – helping them to excel on the pitch and grow and develop as footballers. We want to give every player the opportunity to succeed in the football industry, whether that’s a career in football or sport, or playing professional football.
What football development pathway do we offer at Boston United?
We have something for all age groups and abilities. We offer fun introductory football sessions every week to children from pre-school age up to children in Year 7 with our Tiny and Young Pilgrims.
Children can go on to join our grassroots Boston United Community F.C., who have teams from Under 7 to Under 16.
For players with advanced ability, we have our Academy football teams – which cater for the Under 13 to Under 16 age groups.
Players can then go on to join our Under 19 youth development squads whilst studying with Boston United.
Our ultimate long term goal is to produce first team players…
Our long term goal is to produce players that are good enough to sign for Boston United’s first team, and help them to succeed in professional football.
Over the years, we have signed a number of youth players to the first team – including Harry Vince (who has also represented England C-Squad), Ryan Pratt, Taylor Gray and Jack Withers who went on to sign a professional contract with Premier League club Swansea City.
During the current 2019/20 season, we had several youth players training with the first team, and U19 goalkeeper Jake Frestle recently signed his first professional contract with the club’s first team on his 18th birthday.
We provide a great opportunity for young, talented local players!
Are you aged under 19 and thinking of what to do next year? If you have a keen interest in playing football and want an opportunity to combine your studies with professional football training – then join Boston United!
