Havant and Waterlooville Football Club is delighted to announce the start of our brand new 16-19 Academy!
The project will see a new and improved step on the Hawks Pathway starting from September 2024. The Academy will see the club partner with SCL Education who will be underpinning all aspects of our off-field learning and studies, with the course aiming to provide all players with a qualification.
The Club would like to go on record to thank Pro Direct and in particular the work done by Tony Stares and his team over the last few years, where they have set some excellent foundations for a functioning academy as part of our HWFC Player Pathway. A number of players have made their way through the pathway and seen involvement in the first team squad. Similarly, several players have gone on to university, scholarship and full-time employment in sport with full qualifications.
The Club will continue to have a superb working relationship with our partners HSDC which will continue to see more opportunities for local talent to enjoy their education alongside a player pathway towards the First Team.
Our second trial is on Wednesday 21st August from 7:30pm, where there will be a short presentation and Q&A opportunity before the session running 8pm to 9.30pm. To register your interest to attend one of our Trial Dates, you will need to fill out the Trial Application form HERE.

Further updates on the structure and vision for our new academy will be communicated in due course.
