A message from the Founder and Chairman,
​
Medway Soccer Academy was started back in 2019. It was always my aim to run my own academy. We had a bag of footballs, ten cones, and four poles, plus four players. I wasn’t happy with that, so hit social media and a week later I had 35 players. We have since grown from strength to strength.
My aim was to get kids out in the fresh air exercising learning new skills and developing young talented footballers. We are now up to 70 players, give or take, we did hit 100 players, but had to cut back. Players have also come and gone, moving on to league teams, so it was time for us to go into the league, which we have did; and we'll be adding more teams to the league.
It’s all been voluntary for us coaches, as we love teaching football to young boys and girls Medway Soccer Academy is growing bigger and better, year by year.
My vision is to see more more teams added to Medway Soccer Academy: men's, women’s, and girl's teams and for more female coaches. We want to be the biggest affordable academy in Medway and a household name.
My mission is to implement all of the above and to get the financial backing to bring football education to Medway Soccer Academy; to have our own ground and a very good set up. In every way Medway Soccer Academy will be the biggest and best academy in the future.
I’m going to leave it there, one last thing a warm welcome to all our new players and parents: Welcome to the Medway Soccer Academy family .
Be ready to battle,
​
Matthew Waters
Chairman
