OUR OWNER
ALFIE PARNELL
I started YB Football Academy at 16 and since then haven't looked back! My aim when starting YB Football was to create a safe environment to improve and learn the game without being overwhelmed by the pressures playing in a team environment can bring, However pushing players as far as they can go, in a way they are comfortable with. As a youth player I had always looked for this type of setting having went to various groups myself however never felt that secure safe place where I could try something new without having to worry about it going wrong, therefore I decided that's what I'd create!
I have played to a high standard of football myself having played for many local semi-pro teams such as; Long Melford, Whitton united, Stowmarket Town and Needham Market. However coaching was what stuck! I have been coaching/Teaching sport for many years now as well as the football side I was previously a PE Teacher at two different Ipswich based schools.
I look forward to helping you all achieve as much as you can in your football journeys while giving you the education to look at various pathways into the sport!
