Charity in Africa

Charity Donations to Africa

At Phoenix Football Academy we recognise the requirements of children in countries, less well off than the UK and are making donations to these children of kit and equipment.

In July, Ranelagh School, Bracknell took some 6th form pupils with True Adventure to Kindwitwi Village in Tanzania. The pupils spent time working in the village, digging trenches for water supply, 100m long and a metre wide, and working in the local banana plantation. They were also spending time working in the local area with local craft and also some sport, the highlight of them losing to the local children, wearing our very own donated Phoenix Football Academy kit.

We are now collecting for 2025 and any balls, kit or boots are all welcomed as your children grow out of them.

Please get in touch if you would like to donate or want more information about this, please contact us at the following email address info@phoenixfootballacademy.com

Testimonials

A Fantastic Birthday Party

A huge thank you to Toby and Harry, your coaches, who were both amazing, the kids absolutely loved it and they couldn’t have done more for us. So glad we booked the party with you! The parents have been messaging us to say how great the Phoenix team were.

Thank you so much.

A fantastic year

I wanted to take a moment and thank you for the year.

The way you handled our younger ones with the School Middle School A team, the work at the Academy, the Gothia Cup preparations and all the 1 to 1 / small group work sessions.

We all really appreciate it and so do the kids and families.

You and your coaches have a very meaningful impact on these kids and I wanted to thank you.

We’ve had great experiences with all of the coaches, but I’d like to call out a special notice for Toby. He seems to have that unique balance so hard to find. Professionalism, toughness, kindness, engagement and of course quality coaching.

Looking forward to the years to come with your team.

An Amazing experience

Looking forward to another year of great football with Phoenix. There are no words to express our gratitude to you, Phoenix and all the coaches for the amazing experience. At practice, at 121 sessions, at Gothia – being part of the Phoenix family has changed our son in wonderful ways. We have seen him develop as an athlete and as a young man. The training you provide goes beyond the pitch and the coaches are incredible role models. Their patience, their guidance, and their support of our boy really brings out the best in him.

Girls Academy – Thank you for everything!!

Just wanted to share with you that Georgia won most improved player of the year, who before coming to you was having a huge confidence dip and often not started or subbed.

This weekend Georgia captained her 7 aside team and they won the Fleet Spurs Tournament (first time she has ever been a captain). Her manager commented that she had skills he hadn’t seen her use before, they have come directly from your coaches. A huge thank you for everything, Phoenix and Toby have been amazing.

Rosie’s brilliant party

The coaches were absolutely fantastic. They were brilliant with the kids, who all loved it, and worked so hard to help us set up and clear away. They went above and beyond in terms of effort, and the party was brilliant. Thank you!

A wonderful day

To let you know that Freddy REALLY enjoyed the camp yesterday. He said to me on the way home “when I do football camps, I only want to do this one!” so thank you to the team for making it such an enjoyable day!

Lucy (a happy parent)

WOW & WOW!

Phoenix Football Academy recently hosted my son James’s birthday party and I can only say ‘Wow & Wow..

What a fabulous party.

For 2 hours Ady and Franz had the boys playing all sorts of football games with a match at the end. The 11 boys enjoyed it so much that they were genuinely disappointed when it was time to go home. My phone was red hot afterwards from parents saying how much the boys had fun.

James & Oliver have been going to the holiday camps for a couple of years now and they love it. I have already pre booked Oliver’s party for later in the year. I would strongly recommend Phoenix Football Academy to anyone for both the holiday camps and hosting birthday parties…

Goalkeeper USA Scholarship

Harry has just accepted a scholarship at Wheeling University in West Virginia. He is delighted, as are we, he will be playing as their first goal keeper in the NCAA Division 2.

We don’t believe we could have got through this without you! Continuing to train with you and Harry playing for Shinfield Mens team from 16 has given him the confidence to move forward.

Thank you
