By joining the Street Soccer Academy you can:
- Improve your physical and mental health
- Increase your fitness, confidence and self-belief

- Improve your employability prospects
- Be in a safe and positive environment
- Develop and improve key skills such as team work, goal-setting, communication and more!
“We’re really excited to join the Street Soccer Academy network and bring the project to Portsmouth. Football provides so many under appreciated opportunities to grow whether it’s a safe space to use as a release, increase physical participation/exercise or provide potential employment/education opportunities.
So being able to utilise football as the vehicle to support individuals’ personal development across mental and physical health is a narrative, we’re incredibly passionate about and can’t wait to get started.”
