7 Elite Academy Cape Town is part of the global 7 Elite network, which includes academies in the UK and the USA. Our Cape Town campus is based in Hout Bay, right on the coast, combining world-class football development with one of the most inspiring locations in the world.

Our coaching team consists of UEFA A-licensed coaches with professional playing experience in Europe. They provide a structured, professional training environment that focuses on developing each player’s skills, discipline, and understanding of the game. The academy’s location overlooking the beach also allows players to enjoy the scenery and unwind after training sessions, combining high-level development with a safe and inspiring environment.

We take a holistic approach to player development, supporting both football and personal growth. Through our partnership with Koa Academy, players can continue their studies online, ensuring their education stays on track alongside their training. We also provide guidance on focus, resilience, and decision-making to help players grow as individuals, while our supervised living and training environment ensures safety, structure, and support for every young athlete.

7 Elite Cape Town also opens pathways for ambitious players: locally through clubs like Hout Bay United Football Club, internationally via clubs such as Fleetwood Town FC and Marine FC, and through scholarship opportunities to the United States in partnership with UDB Sports. UDB Sports have facilitated college placements and sponsorships into the USA for some of our players this year. Here, football development meets unforgettable experiences—combining elite coaching, personal growth, academic support, and a coastal lifestyle that prepares players for success both in the game and in life.
