What we do: We ensure that each of our players are getting an education, while developing them as footballers and providing them with healthcare. As the players grow through our academy and graduate from school, we help provide them with opportunities such as becoming a professional footballer or receiving an athletic scholarship to an American college. Who we are: Founded by Lee Kellett and Anthony Brockbank in 2011, Academy 11 Ghana is a registered non-profit organization in the United States, run by a number of volunteers and is a registered NGO in Ghana, where local paid staff oversee the running of day to day operations The future: As our organization continues to grow and have a larger impact on the players and their families, we plan to provide each player with a higher level of education through partnerships with private schools in Ghana and to develop a residential program for the older age groups. We are dedicated to enhancing the community, we hire local staff who we can help grow and flourish and thus help to contribute to the local economy by supporting local businesses as much as possible.
