At Conor Thomas Academy, our mission is clear: to develop the next generation of football talent through coaching steeped in the realities of professional football. Drawing on our own experiences on and off the pitch, we empower players with insights, skills, and a love for the game that goes beyond the ordinary.
Your incredible support has driven us to new heights. Our venues at Crewe Alexandra Soccer Centre and Sandbach United Football Club are consistently fully booked weeks in advance—a testament to the demand for coaching that’s authentic, challenging, and tailored to young players.
Now, we’re thrilled to announce the next chapter in our journey: Conor Thomas Academy sessions are coming to Stoke’s Power League!
Expansion driven by demand
The demand for our sessions has been overwhelming, and we’re humbled by the enthusiasm of players and parents alike. While we’re honoured by the high demand, we know how disappointing it can be to miss out when spaces fill so quickly.
That’s why we’re expanding to Stoke’s Power League - to create more opportunities for young players to experience what makes the Conor Thomas Academy special.

Why is Stoke Power League the perfect venue for football training?
Stoke’s Power League is a top-tier venue that aligns perfectly with our commitment to excellence. Boasting high-quality pitches, a central location, and professional facilities, it provides the ideal environment for players to train, learn, and grow.
This expansion isn’t just about growing our footprint—it’s about ensuring more players can access coaching rooted in the rigours and realities of professional football.
What makes our coaching unique?
We’re not just another coaching academy. At Conor Thomas Academy, our approach is shaped by the lessons we’ve learned in professional football, offering a unique blend of:
Real-world insights: Players benefit from the techniques, tactics, and mindset that separate good from great.
Authentic experiences: We know what it takes to excel on and off the pitch, and we share that knowledge openly.
Tailored training sessions: Our signature sessions are carefully designed to push players beyond their limits while fostering growth and confidence.
For young players, this isn’t just training—it’s a masterclass in football development from people who’ve been there.
How does this expansion benefit young footballers?
By adding Stoke Power League to our list of locations, we’re achieving:
Greater access: More sessions mean more opportunities for players to train with us.
Community reach: Stoke’s central location makes it easier for families from surrounding areas to join in.
Uncompromising quality: Whether in Crewe, Sandbach, or Stoke, every session is crafted with the same level of professionalism and passion.

Affordable football coaching in Stoke, inspired by the professional game
At Conor Thomas Academy, we believe every player deserves access to high-quality coaching. That’s why, even as we expand, our session prices remain the same.
We’re committed to delivering exceptional value, combining professional expertise with affordability to ensure that as many young players as possible can benefit from what we offer.
