Momentous Football Academy | Professional Football Coaching in Barnsley

We are Momentous Football Academy

Founded by Martin Devaney and Jimmy Whitehead, our aim is to improve player’s football skills, physicality and mindset within a detailed coaching framework. We aim to bridge the gap between the professional football academies and local grassroots football through our extensive and varied range of weekly group and 1:1 sessions, designed to nurture and develop young players, allowing them to PLAY - LEARN - ENJOY - EXCEL.

Periodically we run events, physical hybrid training and camps throughout the year as well as delivering a unique football and education pathway based at Dearne Valley college.
