Our Mission
The aim of the Lincoln City Football Academy for Women is to help young players maximise their potential in football, education and life. It puts well-being and personal development at the heart of everything we do. Our aim is to develop well-rounded individuals as well as high-quality players. We will provide expert services, support and advice to academy players and parents, and every player should enjoy and value their academy experience.
Our Vision
We want our players to be technically excellent and tactically astute independent decision-makers on and off the field, equipped to be successful in the game.
Education

Scholarship
When accepted into the Lincoln City Football Academy for Women, players will be enrolled on a 2-year scholarship, which provides a full-time football development and education programme. Subsequently, this programme is an alternative to college or 6th Form and is in partnership with North Kesteven Academy, therefore, all hours are built into an academic timetable Monday to Friday.
