Ben Gilbert
Ben has been attending the Simon Francis Academy for a while now and his hard work and determination has been rewarded by being invited into one of the AFC Bournemouth ID Centres and has impressed in early weeks. Ben continues to develop in the Academy, alongside his training with The Cherries.

Ollie is a recent attendee to the Simon Francis Academy. The attitude he has shown in recent weeks and the way he has applied everything the coaches have taught him has been impressive and as a result of this, Ollie has been invited into the AFC Bournemouth ID Centre’s.
Freya Patton
Freya has been a regular at our Christchurch academy since we opened. She has shown great enthusiasm and excellent technique which has lead her to being signed up for the AFC Bournemouth u14’s girls team.

Louie was one of the original players who joined the academy when it first opened in September 2016. His attitude to learn in the sessions has been fantastic over a two year period which has seen him get invited into the AFCB pre academy, since then he has even gone on to train and play with the full AFCB academy.
