Football Academy
Stockton Sixth Form College offers you the opportunity to develop your footballing and gymnastic talents alongside gaining further academic qualifications. Both Sports Academies will run alongside an additional 3 course programme. The college also runs sport based enrichments including badminton and table tennis for those students who wish to fully take advantage of this strand’s offerings.
The academy is delivered jointly between both Stockton Sixth Form College and Stockton Town Football Club which gives players the great opportunity to continue their education alongside their footballing careers. Although there is no requirement to play for Stockton Town as part of the football academy, if players are strong enough, and there is a desire to do so, they have a pathway into the football club across a multitude of areas. Our U18s thrive in the Junior Premier League, playing across the North of the country and feeding into our first team playing in the Northern League Step 5 of the national pyramid. When playing in The FA Vase Final at Wembley, our squad consisted of 70% of players who had progressed through the Stockton Towns youth system, showing the commitment to the progression of youth into the first team.
