Cumbria Football Academy CFA is a select academy that delivers high standard training sessions on a weekly basis. There will be a small charge per player per session to cover costs.

Hello Coach,

Danny Grainger and Gary Dicker are both currently players at Carlisle United and are UEFA licensed coaches we are currently developing a new Academy called "Cumbria Football Academy" and would like to offer you the chance to nominate players who you believe would be interested and benefit from our Academy. Our aim is to develop players technical, tactical, physical and psychological aspects of the game with a progressive program of drills and sessions that will be designed to meet all aspects of the modern game and give them confidence in a friendly, safe environment. The Academy will be structured with training sessions with a game which will be arranged at the end of the each block of training periods against semi pro or professional clubs. This is not intended to conflict with your current football timetable and would merely be in addition. We also aim to engage with other Pro clubs and semi pro clubs to give the players a chance to play in an environment where not only would it enhance their development but would possibly provide opportunities for them to progress to a higher level within the game.

Our small group sessions are designed to help players develop both physically and mentally, building confidence, improving technical ability, and enhancing game understanding.

Through focused coaching, high quality repetition, we help every player take the next step in their development, becoming stronger, sharper, and more confident on the pitch.

⚽ Build the skills. Build the character. Keep the fun. ⚽

It’s not just about developing better footballers, it’s about building resilience, confidence and a strong work ethic too.
We believe children learn best when they’re having fun, enjoying the game and doing what they love.

A very busy weekend for the academy! ⚽️
From hosting Carlisle at home, travelling to Newcastle and Fleetwood, to competing in the JPL, it’s been a weekend packed with football, opportunities and valuable experiences for our players. Lots of exposure across different environments, opposition and levels, giving the academy players the chance to test themselves, learn and continue developing.

Cumbria Football Academy enjoyed an evening of game time against Carlisle United Academy. Facing strong opposition gives players the chance to experience different levels of intensity, make decisions under pressure and test the technical and tactical work they put into training.

There was quality on display from both teams, with plenty of positive moments to take away.

Every game is a lesson. Every challenge is an opportunity.

Challenge yourself. Learn. Adapt. Improve.
