"Having previously worked with Jonny, and seen first hand the methods used by EMC Academy I would highly recommend them to any player in the Kent area looking for elite coaching."

Caorle Adriatico Cup 2025
This April saw our U16s head to Venice, Italy over the Easter weekend to participate in the Caorle Adriatico Cup 2025!
The Caorle Adriatico Cup welcomes 80+ teams every year from all across Europe - this year we proudly represented England as the only English team in the tournament! Other teams travelled from Germany, France, Latvia, Switzerland, just to name a few!
One of the main reasons we love to organise international trips for our players is the opportunity to make lifelong memories whilst strengthening team bonds, proudly represent the Academy across the world and of course, getting to enjoy great games of football!
Our U16s really took this opportunity to make the weekend special. The boys trained hard and played hard and we had an amazing time!
Upcoming 2025 Tours
Following on from Italy, we have 3 remaining international tours to look forward to in Sevilla, Barcelona and Minnesota, USA!
Next stop Sevilla, Spain...
We cannot wait for our players to enjoy these opportunities and to showcase their skills across the world.
