Thank You for an Incredible 2025

As 2025 draws to a close, everyone at Martin Gray Football Academy would like to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to the people who have made this year so special.

MGFA is about much more than football. It’s about confidence, character, learning, and giving young people a positive place to grow. None of that is possible without the support of the incredible community around us.

Thank You to Our Players

To every child and young person who pulled on their boots and gave their best this year — thank you.

Whether you joined us for the first time, took part in weekly sessions, holiday courses, Elite training or the BTEC programme, your effort, enthusiasm and willingness to learn is what brings MGFA to life. Watching players grow in confidence, develop skills and enjoy the game is at the heart of everything we do.

Thank You to Our Parents and Families

To the parents and families who trust us with their children, thank you.

Your support, encouragement and commitment make such a difference. From lifts to sessions, to standing on the sidelines, to supporting your child through highs and challenges, you are a vital part of their journey and of the MGFA family.

Thank You to Our Coaches and Staff

To our coaches and staff, whose professionalism, passion and care shape every session, thank you.

Your dedication goes far beyond training drills. You support, inspire and guide young people every day, helping them develop not only as players, but as people.

Thank You to Our Partners and Supporters

We are grateful to our partners, venues, schools and organisations who have worked with us throughout 2025. Your collaboration allows us to reach more young people, create meaningful opportunities and continue to grow.

The Impact We’ve Made Together

This year we’ve seen:

• Young players discover a love for football

• Confidence grow both on and off the pitch

• Students progress through our BTEC and Elite pathways

• Strong relationships built across our community

Every session, every conversation and every smile contributes to the positive impact MGFA strives to make.

Looking Ahead

As we head into 2026, we do so with gratitude, excitement and a continued commitment to providing a safe, supportive and inspiring environment for young people to thrive.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your child’s journey and for helping us make a real difference through football.

From all of us at Martin Gray Football Academy, thank you for being part of our story.

We look forward to another year of growth, development and unforgettable moments together.
