📣 Big News!

We’re thrilled to announce the next Bishop Laney Scholarship programme in Ely!

This hugely successful initiative has helped so many players go on to:
• Earn US college scholarships
• A proven track record of players progressing into non-league football
• Gain level 1 coaching qualifications and employment as part of our coaching team

All this, while they’re studying for their A Levels or BTECs, balancing sport and education brilliantly.

As a special bonus, the session will be held at our state-of-the-art Avant Training Centre — the same ground where our first team and academy train. It’s a fantastic opportunity to experience first-hand what life on this programme is really like.

🗓 Date: Tuesday, 23rd December 2025
✉️ More info: Contact Pip Davis at [email protected]

Don’t miss out on this chance to take your game to the next level — and your future too. ⚽💼
