Cameron Reardon 2015-2017

“My son Cameron was not confident in taking A levels after his GCSE’s so we looked for an alternative route for him that would incorporate his desire to progress his Football as well as his academic ability. We looked around at a number of different study/Football packages and settled on FCA which for us provided the best fit for our son. For him his football developed well enough that with the help of the great coaching staff at FCA he was getting playing time at a Ryman South side at the age of 17. For us we saw his confidence in his academic ability grow and he completed his BTEC studies with a triple distinction. This grade brought him a number of offers at various Universities and he is now on course to achieve a projected 2:1 in his Sports Science Degree.” John Reardon- Father of Cameron Reardon, currently playing at Thamesmead Town.
