Welcome

I know how excited I am about the prospects of being part of Tividale FC and the bright future we are planning for our players, coaches and volunteers. You have joined a forward thinking Academy that has grown from 1 to 14 teams in 12 months. We have teams playing Saturday, Sunday, midweek in Floodlit and College leagues.We work hard to:
Implement a first class community football provision; Deliver an excellent coaching and education service; Maintain high standards on and off the field of play;Develop role models and leaders for the future and to Bring success to Tividale Football Club.
One of the most important aspects of our community club is the development of our young players. We want them to have fun and be the best they can. When appropriatewe will put them in front of our 1st team manager and/or the Academy Manager at WBA.This season we have showcased two players into our 1st team, three into WBA Academy and two into WBA Development. We have welcomed 4 players from WBA.
As we look forward to next season, amongst other things, we will grow the club to 18 teams, increase our coaching/volunteer capacity and increase the scope of our venues for playing and training.If you are interested in supporting the Academy please let us know.

Mini Soccer Centre

/ Our Mini Soccer Centre has been going for 12 months and has developed our year 1 to year 6 players. We operate every Friday between 6 – 7.30pm @ Tividale Park. We are looking for players who want fun and are interested inbuilding their existing skills. Each week the coaches will focus on different areas of football and team games to develop player’s abilities.
What do we look for?During our sessions we look for players to relax and enjoy their football. If you have skill, show it, if you are quick show it, if you can dribble do it, if you are good at passing pass it, if you’re an organizer then organize……

Education

/ The Scholarship program creates a unique opportunity for young people to study A levels and BTEC level 3 and 2, learn about the dynamics of a football organisation, train like professional footballers and compete in leagues whilst studying for recognised qualification(s) that will qualify them for university and improve their employment prospects.
In partnership with Ormiston Forge Academy our growing Scholarship program for 16 – 18 year olds provides a fantastic platform for young students to experience and develop their education and football on a full time basis.
We also offer programs for students who have not gained GCSE grade C in Mathematics and English. I believe the scholarship is about finding a careful balance between embracing opportunity, hard work and being happy. These are the cornerstone of life at Forge; in fact they are probably the cornerstones of a successful, fulfilled life.
