No Just Golf

Football Academy

Centre Circle

What an awesome way to see in Spring, by starting in a new, more competitive league, offering more opportunities. We also welcomed our English Premier League, Wolves Academy coaches to our shores and let them experience some brilliant sunshine here on our African continent. And how happy was Nathan Male to return to our beautiful country and show his compatriot Cody Harper the huge amount of talent that we have to offer and the enthusiasm and willingness of the Wolves campers to learn the Wolves Way.

But let’s not spoil all the exciting activity at the Academy last month, read more about it all here and more:
