What makes our staff different?

Our directors are UEFA "A" qualified coaches with extensive experience coaching at Premier League academies. Our younger coaches are ambitious and have an innovative nature due to the career path they have taken.

The Academy has a range of coaches from ex-professional/semi-professional players to students of the game who have worked tirelessly to get to where they are today. Accumulating countless hours of coaching experience and completing Honors degrees in Science and Football. As a result of their expertise, we have been able to design a physical development program to assist the technical program.

Diamond International Sports Academy is available for students from the UK and overseas who wish to take their coaching or playing careers to the next level. With our structured sports-education program that ranges from eight weeks to a full two-year diploma, we can cater to all students' needs.

The academy's curriculum was developed by an outstanding coaching staff that replicates professional academy structures. Its chief objective is to develop students—coaches as well as players—into higher standards of achievement than ever before.

There will be an opportunity to work with our own squads as a player or a coach, as well as the opportunities to travel abroad to visit our partners.

Academy Squads

We have our academy Squads from the ages of 12-16 years old who are high performers within the youth set up in Diamond International sports academy which is Sparta FC. This is the ultimate goal for all our youth development and foundation squads to achieve.

We cater to boys and girls that wish to take their football skills to the next level. Each player has regular reports and analyses of their performance and much more intensive training alongside a sports education program.

If you feel that you wish to attend a trial, we do have trials through the season. If we feel you are a high-performance player, then you will be invited to a full academy trial.

To find out about our next trial sessions please contact our academy head coach:
