Our school's philosophy is based on the guiding principle that FOOTBALL MATTERS. It matters in many aspects of our lives in Bermuda and as global citizens. It connects people; young and old through the role of teachers, mentors, coaches, community, players, and parents.

Because FOOTBALL MATTERS, our primary goal is to develop each young Bermuda football player coming to us to a level of skills and understanding similar or better than most internationally recognized academies and school, enabling Bermuda's most precious "natural resource" to remain in Bermuda until they are technically, physically, mentally and maturity wise, ready and able to pursue their dreams in an international setting. Might it be at a boarding school with a reputable football program and graduate school network, a fully funded four year scholarship to a college or university, or a pre-professional contract for a club. Recognizing that we can also provide an entertainment outlet for Bermuda and Bermuda football fans alike.

As a school our number one priority is to see to that every student that joins our program has the opportunity and the resources to take the sport as far as he/she can and to stay in the sport for as long as possible. Preferably we want all our students to become lifelong footballers. At the heart of Coach Bascome's philosophy rests our unique curriculum, breaking down the sport to its most basic building blocks, allowing for a significant emphasis on developing the youngest player's technical and ball master skills before they reach the age of competitive football. Once they have entered the competitive phase, at age 12, their basic skills are further honed via a lot of repetition while adding positional understanding, strength and conditioning and tactical adaptations.

To secure your spot for the 2025/26 season please register using the following procedure:

• Click on one of the Programs below (U5/7/9/11/13/15/O15/Overseas) and follow the online instructions for how to register on our platform managed by SportsEngine. Please scroll down on each page and enter ALL information requested. Withholding information makes our work so much harder.
• Once the SportsEngine registration has been completed, please click here to go to our payment platform. A registration is not valid without the Registration Fee paid.
• When registering the U5/7 Foundation Program you will pay a Registration Fee of $250, and for the U7 Team/U9/11/13/15/O15 the Registration Fee is $500. Look for the tab Registration Fee on the payment site and follow the instructions to complete.
• The Registration Fee confirms your player's registration and will be used to pay for among other things equipment, training uniforms, facilities agreements and competition fees. All costs incurred before the season kicks-off. 
• For the U7 Team/U9/11/13/15/O15 programs a Program Fee of $850 must also be paid, look for the tab Program Fee on the payment site. This fee covers the ongoing cost of running the In-Season Program. You can either chose to pay it as a one-time payment, in which case you will be charged now, or as two quarterly payments in which case your credit card will be charged once when you enter the payment and once three months later..
• For the U5/7 Foundation Program rather than a Program Fee being charged, you will be asked to pay the Registration Fee before each term. We will remind you. 
• Lastly the Post-Season Program will open up for registration and payment during the Winter term. We will remind you. The Program Fee for the Post-Season Program is $530 based on 3 training sessions per week for 12 weeks.

Through our partnership with ABC Football Foundation we can offer bursary assistance for the Program Fees. Should you wish to inquire about it please email abcfootballfoundation@gmail.com

If there is one person that has had the greatest impact and affect on Andrew Bascome, and Bascome Football School, in his desire to create the best youth football development organization possible, it is Jacques Crevoisier. Mr. Crevoisier at the time when we teamed up with him was a UEFA Grassroots development director, overseeing grassroots development in all 55 countries within UEFA. We owe so much to him, and we are eternally grateful for having worked with him for over ten years, until his untimely death on May 16th 2020.  He remains within what we do on a daily basis, not the least because  we were fortunate to have his vast knowledge memorialized in the four Bermuda coaching handbooks that we authored together. Those handbooks form the framework for everything that we do.

In order to be able to offer a bursary and scholarship program, both for players who require financial assistance,  and to be able to assist young coaches setting out to make youth coaching a full time profession, your support will make a huge difference. For more information about the 2023/24 fundraising campaign, please see below pdf presentation.
