Raheem Sterling has unveiled the RS7 Academy, a game-changing initiative focused on developing young footballers with a unique touch.
Born out of a desire to help his own son grow in the sport, the England international created a space that blends elite training with personal support.
The Chelsea star said he searched far and wide for the right environment for his son – one where young players could flourish, touch the ball more often, and build confidence. However, rather than wait for such a platform to emerge, he decided to build one himself.
A blend of skill, belief and structure

The RS7 Academy isn’t just about football drills; it’s about building young minds and hearts. According to Sterling, talent needs more than coaching – it requires consistent nurturing, belief, and a sense of purpose. That’s why the academy promises not only to sharpen skills but also to instill discipline, confidence, and a genuine love for the game.

By combining elite-level coaching with individual development, the academy sets a new benchmark in grassroots football. The mission is clear: to create a standard where young talents can thrive both on and off the pitch.
Sterling, who has played for clubs like Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Arsenal, brings a wealth of experience to this new journey. And by using his personal experiences and global influence, he hopes to give back meaningfully to the sport that shaped his life.
Bookings now open for first sessions
With preparations complete, the RS7 Academy has now opened public registrations for its first sessions. Parents, coaches, and young players are invited to be part of this fresh and powerful movement. The sessions are designed to welcome kids of varying skill levels, all while maintaining the academy’s elite standard.
The project shows Sterling’s commitment not only to football but also to community development. He wants every child in the academy to feel seen, valued, and empowered – just like he was as a young boy chasing his dreams.
