Community Football Academy was formed in April 2004.

The reason behind it was to coach kids in the inner city area who were not playing football for a local club due to one reason or another, especially in areas where there is a high percentage of black and ethnic minorities. The aim was to work with parents and to give opportunities to young players who live in Highfields, Evington and the surrounding areas.

The organization was formed by a group of Coaches / Parents who felt that although the players were not ready to join a local football club for whatever reason, it was down to them to give these players the opportunity to develop their skills further.

With the help and support of numerous organization within Leicestershire, the Football Academy has been very fortunate to have gone from strength to strength.
