Who we are.
Soccer Scholar Academy is an energised, creative and vibrant organisation specialising in developing the skills, talent and ability of young players. We believe every kid should have the opportunity to play and, most importantly, enjoy Football. Here at SSA we look to achieve this by producing an environment that creates a strong, positive, learning culture and maximises the opportunity for all kids to reach their potential.
We achieve this through our Fun & Futures Technical Sessions, SSA Tots, 1-2-1’s, Travel Teams and WildCats programmes. Check out ‘Our Services‘ for more information on each of our football initiatives.

Parent Reviews:
Both of my daughters attend WildCats, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The sessions are exceptionally well-structured, offering the perfect balance of skill-building activities and fun. It’s clear that the coaches have a genuine passion for teaching and connecting with the children, creating an environment where they feel comfortable while still being encouraged to challenge themselves and improve. Jack, the owner, has created an incredible training programme and a positive environment that fosters confidence, teamwork, and sportsmanship. The impact of his program is clear to see in every child who attends, which is a true testament to his dedication and commitment. My children look forward to every session, and it’s been amazing to watch their confidence grow week on week. If you’re looking for a football programme for your child, I highly recommend SSA.

My son joined the SSA under-9s this season, and I honestly can’t recommend the club highly enough. His coach, Ciaran, genuinely cares about the players, focusing on far more than just winning. He really emphasizes teamwork, respect, and sportsmanship, which has been fantastic to see. What makes this club stand out is the quality of all the coaches. They’re not only passionate and knowledgeable about the game but also incredibly supportive and committed to helping each player grow. They’ve found the perfect balance between pushing the team to improve and making sure the love for the game stays front and center. The positive attitude, patience, and encouragement from the coaching team have made a huge difference in my son’s development, both on and off the pitch. It’s been brilliant watching him grow in confidence and skills while having so much fun.

I can’t recommend SSA enough. My son absolutely loves his team and his coaches, he is always happy and smiling and that means everything. Their main focus is learning and development as well as fun and friendship, the perfect combination for happy kids 😊

My son plays for the SSA travel team after starting at their fun and futures program on a Saturday morning. He’s made friends for life and had the opportunity to play at Southampton's training ground and Havant and Waterlooville's stadium. He plays matches every Sunday with his friends and it’s the highlight of his week. He has a shelf in his bedroom full of trophies, medals and certificates that have become his prized possessions thanks to the top coaching at SSA! Highly recommended.
