HDperformance Academy

A full school day, every week of term

The HDperformance Academy: a term-time football education day. Pitch, strength & conditioning and classroom learning, led by coaches and mentors who've been through the academy pathway.

One day a week in term time, Monday to Friday
Pitch, gym and classroom sessions
Monthly testing, a Player Passport and a termly report
Home-educated children can join directly

Children at school need their headteacher's agreement to attend on a school day. We'll help you with that conversation. Our flagship centre is at Club Doncaster Sports Village, Doncaster, at the Eco-Power Stadium (formerly the Keepmoat), home of Doncaster Rovers FC.
