The Coventry City Football Club academy is critical not only to our football club but also the city of Coventry. It is part of the very fabric of our football club. Callum Wilson,Gary McSheffrey,Ben Turner and James Maddison are just a few of the Academy graduates in recent years. The development of players such as these and the many others who have come through the CCFC academy give us hope that one day our club will begin to prosper again. Without it the future looks bleak. We call upon all parties with an interest in the Alan Higgs Centre,the current home of the academy,to set aside historical differences and work together to ensure the future good health of the academy and our football club.
