Christchurch United
Academy growing
at rapid pace
The Christchurch United Football
Club and its high-performance academy
continues to develop at a rapid pace.
The arrival of high-profile Academy
Director Colin Williamson is another major
step in the development of the academy
based at the world-class Christchurch
Football Centre (CFC) on Yaldhurst Road.
Williamson worked with some of the best
coaches in the Netherlands during his seven
years at professional clubs PSV Eindhoven
and Roda JC. He will be working closely
with the club’s Brazilian Head Coach
Fernando Lambert in developing the other
coaches at Christchurch United.
This year the academy has expanded to
include an U13, two U14 and an U15 squad.
Christchurch United also offers preacademy
programmes from U6 to U12 and
will expand its community programmes
for players from the age of 4 to 17, with
additional pitches at Yaldhurst, as well as
the historical base at Spreydon Domain.
Players can join the community teams
from $119 a season, and still get the
benefit of the professional coaching staff
supporting the volunteer coaches.
The academy and CFC were created
by Christchurch businessman Slava
Meyn in 2014 to provide all-year football
development with top quality coaching.
The academy in 2016 merged with
the Christchurch United and last year
dominated many of the junior leagues.
A staggering 36 players were being picked
for representative teams.
The 2018 Football
Season is here!
