GRASSROOTS PARTNERSHIPS
At Canvas, one of our very first objectives as a firm was to seek and create partnerships with the best grassroot academies around. We are proud to have a direct relationship with Lambeth Tigers, a renowned grassroots academy in London. Along with Lambeth, we are excited to have a partnership with Pass Move Grin, the leading grassroots academy in Nottingham in East Midlands, England. Finally, Canvas has a direct link to Selhurst Academy, for young footballers aged 16-23 years that wish to return to the academy system. Selhurst Academy is a grassroots academy that trains weekly and provides fixtures against professional academies across England, leading to trials and signings for many of the players associated with Selhurst.
The objective of the aforementioned partnerships is to create avenues for players that have expressed interest in going back into a professional academy. Our contacts paired with the exceptional coaching of our selected academies, consistently provide opportunities to reintegrate players into the professional game.
