The Soccer Development Programme is provided by the UK's most prestigious International Soccer Academy, made up of the i2i International Soccer Academy and i2i International Women's Soccer Academy.
Designed around your academic studies to allow for maximum time both in the classroom and on the pitch, as an i2i student-athlete you can expect to train up to five days of 15 hours per week, spanning a 9-month soccer season.
Student-athletes are eligible for selection to represent i2i U19 and U23 teams in regional competition whilst also representing both Northumbria University and i2i in the British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) league and cup competitions (the UK NCAA equivalent). Alongside league fixtures, student-athletes can play in showcase fixtures against professional and semi-professional teams.
Offering the highest-quality coaching to all players, the programme is led by a number of UEFA PRO Coaches, A Licensed Coaches, former English Premier League and International players, supported by experienced academics and industry experts, several of whom are renowned for their work in coaching across the world.
