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.

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.
Jacques' experience, knowledge and persona was always shared with every coach, club and administrator in Bermuda, neither Jacques, ABC Football Foundation, nor Coach Bascome would have wanted any other way. Together we achieve more!
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.
