Our founder, Michael Meaker, brings a wealth of experience to the academy. Having played at the highest level professionally, both internationally with Wales and in the topship with QPR, he understands what it takes to succeed in football. With his UEFA A Licence and FA Wales/UEFA A Licence, Michael ensures that the coaching staff at The No1 Football Academy are world-class.
