Celtic Soccer Academy is delighted to announce that they have agreed a partnership with Marystown United from Newfoundland, Canada.

Marystown United, will receive the support of the soccer academy to help develop their players, coaches and programmes over the next three years.

These long-term partnerships involve the sharing of club methodologies through access to our coaching curriculums and coaching camps.

Celtic FC Staff will also travel to Newfoundland to train the players and coaches from Marystown in their own environment.

Andrew Walsh of Marystown United, said: “Marystown United is a community-based soccer club dedicated to providing a high-quality soccer programme that focuses on player development, teamwork and sportsmanship.
