Southern League Premier Division South club Hartley Wintney have announced a partnership with iDFA that will see the full-time education and Football Academy run by Identify Football Academy now hosted at Hartley Wintney Football Club.
The Academy, which is aimed at 16-18-year-olds, offers further education opportunities while creating a pathway for keen and talented players to progress through to Hartley’s under-23 development team, who play in the Suburban Football League, and also the first team currently playing at Step 3 of the football Pyramid.
It enables the best players the potential for a career in football, while ensuring all students are given extended tuition in the subjects needed to progress careers outside of sport, as well as within other facets of the game.

This full-time football academy will offer competitive football at under-18, 19 and under-23 plus training hosted at professional level facilities during the week. All our coaches are UEFA licensed and will provide a detailed training schedule to enhance the abilities of all players”.
