The Academy
Arsenal F.C. Academy is one of the most successful academies in the United Kingdom. Awarded the coveted Category 1 status at the inception of the Elite Player Performance Plan in 2012, the Academy has constantly been a beacon of best practice and youth development success. Now led by the former player Per Mertesacker, the Academy comprises multiple locations and is regarded as one of the very best in the country, with a high level of productivity.
The Arsenal Ladies Development Squad recruits talented female players between the ages of 16 and 19. The Academy program was developed specifically to feed the first team with a steady stream of young talent, and many players have made the leap from Academy to first team. Players have also found success with other Women’s Super League teams, and have been awarded college scholarships in the U.S. and U.K. The curriculum consists of an intensive schedule with squad training sessions, strength and conditioning sessions, and opportunities to train with the Arsenal Ladies F.C. first team.
The Club
Founded in 1886, the men’s side of legendary soccer club of Arsenal F.C. has spent more time in the Premiership than any other club. The Arsenal Ladies, founded just over one hundred years later in 1987, has shared similar success to the men’s team. The club is also now known as Arsenal Women’s F.C., or Arsenal W.F.C. They are considered to be the most successful team in the English League, having won 46 major trophies in their short 30 year history. The 2006/07 season was notable, when they achieved the historic quadruple, and became the first British women’s side to win the UEFA Women’s Champions League.

I think going over there is a lot of team camaraderie you can get from these trips, there is a lot of growing up...It was a lot of growth during the trip for the players. I think being in a culture that’s immersed in soccer, the players will never forget that experience.
I would definitely love to repeat it, and I would definitely suggest it to everyone that I know, just because it’s something so amazing and you never get this opportunity again. It’s something that you would dream about doing over and over again, and just something that no one will ever forget.
“I love watching the different coaching styles, I can pick up new things that I can bring back to the U.S. and put into my training sessions. Just being able to see where the top players in the world are able to train and compete I think is fantastic.”
“You have enough time for soccer but also enough time to experience the culture. It is an educational experience that not too many people have the opportunity to participate in.”
