The Journey

The Journey Begins

From the moment Lewis Black could walk, he had a football at his feet. Growing up on the pitch, football wasn’t just a sport—it was a way of life. Lewis dedicated his youth to mastering the game, playing at various competitive levels and learning from some of the best coaches in the sport. Through every high and low, one thing remained constant: his love for the game. That passion is what planted the seed for what would eventually become the Lewis Black Football Academy.

Built on Passion & Purpose

After years of playing and gaining real on-the-pitch experience, Lewis realised he wanted to give something back—to create a place where young players could not only improve their technical ability but also grow in confidence, discipline, and teamwork. That vision led to the launch of the Lewis Black Football Academy: a place where passion meets purpose, and players of all levels are welcomed, developed, and inspired. For Lewis, it’s never been just about drills and games—it's about building character and unlocking potential.

More Than Just Football

Today, the Academy offers everything from 1-1 elite coaching and team partnerships to exciting football-themed birthday parties. With a growing team of experienced coaches and a thriving community of young players, the Academy continues to expand—driven by the same love for football that started it all. Whether you're stepping onto the pitch for the first time or striving to go pro, Lewis Black Football Academy is here to guide you every step of the way.
