⚽ 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐒𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬! 😊
Our youngest camp participants brought the energy last week. Loads of fun, plenty of goals and lots of laughter along the way. It is brilliant to see their confidence growing as they enjoy the game and make new friends.

Over 80 local children joined us for a week of football, games and challenges. From ball mastery to shooting competitions, our young players aged 6–14 were kept busy developing skills, making friends and enjoying the beautiful game.

✨ Yesterday Ballers Academy was delighted to take a group of young people to the brand new Canada Water Leisure Centre for a Rotherhithe SE16 youth-led event!

The day kicked off with an youth forum session where young people shared their thoughts on what it’s like growing up in the Rotherhithe area – what’s great, what’s missing, and what they want to see in their community. 💬

After the discussions, everyone got active with a high-energy spin class followed by a football session in the main hall! ⚽💪

We’re proud to have been part of such an inspiring day that gave young voices a platform and encouraged positive action in SE16. 🙌

𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝟗𝟗𝟗 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓.

Ballers Academy were proud to team up with the @Ldn_Ambulance for a 7-a-side football tournament at Burgess Park, Southwark.

More than 150 players, representing 16 emergency service teams from across London, came together for a day full of friendly competition.

Ballers Academy arranged referees, provided volunteers, organised medals, and invited the @SouthwarkMayor to present the trophy and medals to the winning team - a small gesture to recognise the outstanding work they do every day.

It was a fantastic way to celebrate not only football, but also the community spirit, camaraderie and dedication of our frontline services. THANK YOU!!

Thanks to our partnership with @PrimeHydrate, every player stayed fuelled throughout the day.

Coach Darren delivered a top session today, and our Year 6 members were switched on from the first whistle. Quick feet, sharp decisions and brilliant attitudes throughout 👏

Darren brings serious experience and intensity to every session, and it really shows. The group loved the challenge and took loads from it.

Plenty of progress on show and some exciting talent coming through.

We’ve had the absolute privilege of being one of the Worshipful Mayor of Southwark’s chosen charities this year, and what a year it’s been.

Madam Mayor has been a true advocate for everything we do at Ballers Academy. Her support has helped raise awareness of our work, shine a spotlight on our community programmes, and generate vital funds that allow us to offer free, inclusive sessions for so many.

On Saturday, we had the honour of attending the Mayor’s Ball at Shakespeare’s Globe, a beautiful evening celebrating the Mayor’s term in office and the three chosen charities. It was inspiring to be surrounded by people who believe in the power of community and collective impact.

We can’t thank Madam Mayor enough for trusting us, supporting us, and standing alongside our mission. Her belief in Ballers Academy has meant the world, not just to us but to the community we serve.

This isn’t the end. We look forward to continuing the journey together 🙌

This weekend, we had the opportunity to take a group of our young members to face 🦁 Millwall Academy at their Well Hall training facility.

It was a great experience for the boys to get a glimpse of what’s expected at the next level and a valuable opportunity for their growth and development. Experiences like these are key to their growth!

A big thank you to the Millwall Academy recruitment and coaching team for the invitation and hospitality 🙌

And, of course, a massive shoutout to our supportive parents 🤝💯
