Pro Touch Soccer Academy (PTSA) is a London-based not-for-profit organisation which uses football to empower youth, build community, develop skills, confidence, teamwork, and help young people achieve their dreams.

PTSA positively impacts the community by providing inclusive football programmes that develop young people’s skills, confidence, teamwork, and opportunities, while promoting social cohesion and personal growth.

No experience is necessary - PTSA encourages all skill levels, helping participants learn football, build confidence, and enjoy being part of a supportive community.

Yes - PTSA runs inclusive SEND programmes tailored to support young people with special educational needs and disabilities, helping them build confidence, social skills, and football abilities

We currently run mixed training sessions where girls and boys develop together in a supportive environment. However, we are actively working towards launching a girls‑only programmein the near future as interest continues to grow.

All training sessions take place at Market Road Football Pitch and Whittington park Football Pitch both located in Islington.

Players will work on the fundamental skills expected of a young professional, including ball mastery, tactical understanding, and specialist techniques for outfield players and goalkeepers. Training also incorporates fitness, plyometrics, anaerobic work, and introductions to sports nutrition and psychology to support well‑rounded development.

PTSA has a strong track record of developing players, with alumni securing schoolboy and professional contracts at clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Fulham, Leyton Orient, Reading, Nottingham Forest, Queens Park Rangers, Tottenham Hotspur, Watford, and West Ham United. We maintain close relationships with many professional clubs across England and regularly arrange fixtures against academy teams—particularly during school holidays—providing players with valuable exposure and opportunities to be scouted.

Discretionary support or bursaries may be available for those who qualify, and we encourage you to get in touch to discuss the options. You can reach us at info@protouchsocceracademy.com.(mailto:info@protouchsocceracademy.com)
