CNS Academy is for children of all levels of ability to come and enjoy their football in a non-pressurised environment. Our aim is to provide our players with a safe place to come and play and express themselves. Our team of professional coaches work closely with each academy player helping them achieve they’re goals no matter how big or small they are, we are here to help.
The Academy was set up to help players from the age of 3-14 years old to gain confidence in their ability to play football. Our coaches work with each player, from all ability levels, to improve their skills on the pitch.
Our Academy Structure is played on 3 different platforms with our forth stage in its early development phase . So now you can take your first steps into the game at 3 years old develop through ES into JS at the age of 5 where things get a little more exciting having build the solid foundation over the past 2 years. By the time you enter The Academy your child could have 4 years experience his/her locker.

Clint Nelson is the founder of CNS and when he created the Academy he’s vision was to create a place where children could come and enjoy playing the sport they love without any unnessasary pressure been put on them, so the aim was to create a place where the children’s enjoyment and development come first before anything and everything.
We have invested a lot of time in our player development pathway, our technical development programmes are designed to improve our young player’s technical ability. We set objectives for each of our players to boost their confidence on the ball. In order to deliver the style of footballers that we want, it’s essential that we remove the fear of making mistakes and learn from them. By employing this strategy our players will adapt this new type of mentality. No longer will a mistake be something to fear it is simply part of our player’s development.
Our Academy is for children, boys & girls of all levels of ability to come and enjoy playing the sport they love, in a safe environment.
We help players from all ability levels achieve their goals, we are proud to said that we work with young children who are kicking their first football in organised sport to the elite players that Ireland has to offer.
