Academy under lights in Suir Crescent

Our academy boys and girls moved under the lights in Suir Crescent for this week and continue to show great improvements.

We would not be able to accommodate our 60-70 kids weekly without the dedication of our academy coaches who help nurture our young players. 👏👏👏👏👏 To all our coaches, young and not so young.

League of Ireland Academy kicks off this weekend

The League of Ireland Academy programme was launched today and officially kicks off on Saturday, with local man Daniel Ponce de Leon taking part given he recently signed from Mooncoin Celtic to the Waterford FC U14 academy.

We will be watching out for Daniel in the next few weeks and months, as he gets to play Bohemians of Dublin, Wexford FC, Shamrock Rovers, Cork and many other national teams across the county.

We wish him and his team the very best of luck in the new 2023 LOI Academy season.

Academy players of the week

Congratulations to our first two academy player of the week winners, Emma T. and Kieran M.


Our coaches pick a player each week based on how well the kids have performed each drill, their overall behaviour and respect shown to coaches and fellow players.
