🎓⚽ CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2026 GRADUATES! ⚽🎓

A huge congratulations to (L–R) Jarred Langton, Alfie Davy, Adam Tasker and Charlie Walker (not pictured), who were proudly presented with gifts by Education Mentor Paul Davies in recognition of an outstanding achievement. 👏🖤🤍

All four have officially graduated with 2:1 degrees in BSc (Hons) Community Football Coaching & Administration following three years of hard work, commitment and endeavour.

Throughout their time studying with us, the lads have combined their academic studies with practical experience within a professional football and community environment, developing themselves not only as students, but as coaches and future professionals within the sports industry.

Their achievements are a fantastic example of where commitment to the programme can take you, and everyone at Grimsby Town Foundation is incredibly proud of what they have accomplished. 🎓

👏 Jarred, Alfie, Adam and Charlie – a massive well done. You should all be extremely proud of yourselves!

📚⚽ COULD THIS BE YOU IN THE FUTURE?

While we celebrate the achievements of our latest graduates, we're already looking ahead to the 2027/28 academic year, with Expressions of Interest now OPEN for our degree programmes:

⚽ WHAT A WEEK AT OUR KELLOGG’S FOOTBALL CAMPS! ⚽

What a fantastic three days we’ve had at our Kellogg’s Football Camps, delivered by Grimsby Town Foundation, at both Caistor and Immingham! 🙌⚫⚪

It’s been brilliant to see so many young footballers enjoying themselves, developing their skills, making new friends and, most importantly, having plenty of fun along the way! ⚽👏

A huge highlight of the week was welcoming members of the Grimsby Town Men’s First Team to both venues. 🌟

The players spent time meeting our participants, answering questions, signing autographs, having photos and getting involved with the groups. Having professional footballers visit the camps and share their experiences is incredibly inspiring for the children, and you could certainly see how much it meant to them! 🖤🤍

A massive thank you to Grimsby Town Football Club and the players for giving up their time and helping make the experience even more memorable for everyone involved.

We’d also like to say a huge thank you to all of the parents and guardians for choosing our camps, our brilliant coaching staff for their hard work across the three days, and, of course, every single participant who joined us at Caistor and Immingham. 👏

We’ve had an absolute blast and hope you all have too!

📣 ONE FINAL WEEK TO GO!

Next week sees our final Kellogg’s Football Camps of the summer, and we’ll be back at both Louth – Wood Lane and Clee Fields, Grimsby, from Monday 24th – Wednesday 26th August. ⚽☀️

If you haven’t joined us yet this summer – or you’ve had such a great time that you want to come back for more – this is your last chance to join us for three more days of football, fun and memories! 🙌

Let’s finish an incredible summer of Kellogg’s Football Camps in style! 🖤🤍

⚽ Football. Fun. Development. Memories. ⚽

⚽🙌 What an incredible three days of footballing fun we've had at our Kellogg's Football Camp at Clee Fields, delivered by Grimsby Town Foundation! 🙌⚽

Over the last three days, we've welcomed between 75 and 85 children each day, all enjoying a fantastic mix of football coaching, games and activities in a fun, safe and inclusive environment.

Our players have been developing key footballing skills including dribbling, passing, shooting and defending, while our aspiring goalkeepers have enjoyed specialist coaching from our experienced goalkeeper coaches, working on shot stopping, 1v1 situations, taking crosses, distribution, ball striking and much more.

There has also been plenty of competitive football throughout the camp, with participants taking part in exciting games such as Sin Bin, Power & Finesse, and enjoying lots of small-sided games and tournament football, giving everyone the chance to put their new skills into practice in a fun and competitive environment.

Of course, it hasn't all been serious training! Our goalkeepers have also loved taking part in fun challenges including Connect 4, Goalkeeper Wars, Matrix Eliminator and Football Tennis, ensuring there has been something for everyone to enjoy.

A huge thank you to every child who attended, along with all the parents and guardians for their continued support. We hope you've enjoyed the camp as much as we have!

⚽ The football fun doesn't stop there!

Before we head to Immingham and Caistor for our next Kellogg's Football Camps from Monday 17th - Wednesday 19th August, we're looking forward to welcoming participants to our SEND Kellogg's Football Camp at Clee Fields on Thursday 6th and Friday 7th August. We can't wait to deliver another two fantastic days of football in an inclusive, supportive and enjoyable environment for everyone involved.

🎟️ Then it's on to Immingham and Caistor! If you haven't booked your place yet, there's still time to join us for another fantastic three days of football, fun and friendship. We'd love to see you there!

⚽🎉 What an incredible three days we've had at our Kellogg's Football Camp at Louth Wood Lane! 🎉⚽

What an absolute blast it has been! We've been treated to three fantastic days of football, smiles, new friendships and plenty of unforgettable memories. A huge thank you to every player who joined us and made the camp such a brilliant experience.

Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome Grimsby Town first-team player Henry Brown alongside the one and only Mighty Mariner for a very special player appearance! 🖤🤍

Henry was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. He took the time to answer some fantastic questions from our participants, shared his experiences of becoming a professional footballer, posed for photos and even got involved in some football activities with the children – something they absolutely loved!

What made the visit even more special was Henry's journey. As a youngster, he attended our football courses before progressing from Louth Old Boys, into the Grimsby Town Academy, and now representing the Grimsby Town first team. Seeing that pathway come full circle was incredibly inspiring for all of our participants and is a brilliant reminder that with hard work, dedication and enjoyment, dreams really can become reality.

A huge thank you also goes to Grimsby Town Football Club for their fantastic support throughout the week. From arranging Henry's player appearance, bringing along the ever-popular Mighty Mariner, to providing official club photographer Jon Corken, whose professionalism, as always, was second to none. Jon has captured some fantastic photos and videos of the camp, helping to showcase what an amazing few days it has been. We really appreciate the continued support from everyone at the football club in helping us create such memorable experiences for our young participants.

We've had an amazing week at Louth and can't wait to do it all again next week at Clee Fields!

⚽ There's still time to book your place, so come and join us for another fantastic few days of football, fun and unforgettable experiences! 👉 https://officialsoccerschools.co.uk/grimsby/
