"An Environment that Represents Excellence"
Welcome to OSA Academy,
The purpose of our website is to improve your knowledge of Oxfordshire Skill Acquisition. We run lots of sessions across Oxfordshire and the main aim and purpose of all these sessions remain the same... to focus on development of the individual player and improve all players who train within our programme.
Our academy is improving year on year and since 2014 has seen more than 25 players sign contracts at Category 1 – Category 3 professional academies. It takes a lot of hard work to get to this level, and although we cannot guarantee you will get there, our unique coaching programme and the years of experience throughout our coaching team form part of a philosophy giving talented individuals the best possible opportunity.
We pride ourselves on not just developing good young players but good young people on and off of the football pitch. Our OSAA core beliefs and values mould those of a professional environment and are aspects that we strongly believe in and instil into our players at all ages, creating an environment that represents excellence.
Our team of lead coaches have many years of experience in football both in the UK and abroad and have worked in professional environments both as players and coaches. This has enabled us to create a unique programme that will help each player reach their potential.
At OSAA we feel it is extremely important to focus on enhancing player strengths as much as improving weaknesses. With this Key Performance Indicator’s are identified in player reviews and action plans will be given to ensure players have targets to work towards.
OSA Academy are a totally independent academy but we maintain very close links with professional clubs branching out further than just Oxfordshire.
We are here to help, support and encourage potential in young players. Every player in the academy will be treated fairly and provided with opportunities that they deserve.
