How is it different?

The Matrix is a system based around thousands of carefully designed technical skills and drills using real game scenarios in a high contextual, peer-led environment that is proven to develop superior footballing skills.

The Journey...

Quote by Mrs W Baldwin: "Both my daughters joined the scholars in year 7. It has been a fantastic opportunity for both of them. It has given them confidence both academically and in their footballing abilities and they are achieving above expectations in all subjects. My eldest daughter, now in 6th form, gained a BTEC Distinction Star in scholars and had trials with Lancashire & Everton.
