The Academy is based in Newquay, a coastal town in Cornwall known for its beaches, surf culture and access to the Atlantic. Players live, train and recover in a setting where the main parts of daily life are close together and easy to navigate.
A focused setting for training and recovery. Newquay sits on the north Atlantic coast of Cornwall in the south-west of England. It is a working coastal town with beaches, cliffs, restaurants, shops and year-round activity, with a quieter rhythm through the winter and a busier visitor season in the summer.
For residential players, the practical benefit is proximity. The training facility is within walking distance of the residence. The town and coastline are also nearby, which helps players maintain a simple daily routine without needing a car.
Cornwall sits on the south-western tip of the United Kingdom. Newquay is on its north coast and is served by Cornwall Airport Newquay, approximately fifteen minutes from the Academy's residential base.
Players live at Sea Space in Newquay. The residence is positioned within reach of the Academy training facility, the town centre and the coast, giving players a practical home base during their stay.
The setting is intended to support training, rest and routine. Full-time staff are on site, giving players and families a clear support structure throughout the residency.
Recovery matters in a full-time training environment. Newquay gives players access to the coast, open space and a town setting that supports downtime between sessions and fixtures.
Players have access to beaches, cliff walks and open coastal space within walking distance of the residence. The environment provides a useful change of pace after training and matches.
Newquay offers cafés, restaurants, shops, a high street and regular town activity. Players can access everyday needs without relying on transport.
Newquay is widely known for surfing. Surf lessons are a part of the residential experience for those interested, supporting recovery, confidence and time away from the pitch.
Three meals a day, plus snacks and an in-house protein bar — all served on site and built around training load, recovery and match preparation.
Dietary and religious requirements are accommodated, and players who need targeted fueling around pre-match, recovery or supplement timing get plans aligned to the session and fixture calendar.
