HIGH-QUALITY STUDY PROGRAMS

Proudly in partnership since 2012, Darlington College and Martin Gray Sporting Academies have been at the forefront of delivering high-quality sporting education study programs. Building on the success of these initiatives, the collaboration expanded in 2017 to introduce the opportunity to join an Elite Sporting Academy program.

Our academies are designed to cultivate natural skills and achieve sporting excellence. Each program offers the unique opportunity to represent teams or professional bodies in competitive sports while pursuing football training alongside an industry-recognised educational qualification.

Beyond the academic curriculum, our students have the opportunity to attain additional coaching qualifications, opening doors to a variety of career paths within the sports industry.
 

Here at MGFA, we understand the importance of real-world experience. Our programs offer invaluable work experience opportunities, allowing students to apply their knowledge in practical settings and prepare for the demands of their chosen professions.
 

Our commitment to excellence is evident in the success stories of our students. Some of our most accomplished graduates have gone on to represent England and participate in prestigious FA cup matches, showcasing the calibre of talent nurtured within our academies.
