CONGRATULATIONS! We’re extremely proud of Archie Proctor who has been offered a scholar at AFC Wimbledon. Archie started his football journey at SkillZone, training with us from U7 to U11. He is a fantastic example to all SkillZone players, he always turned up to training with a fantastic attitude and a hunger to learn. Archie has always possessed great decision making on the ball but this was a big development in his game during his time at SkillZone.

For a defender, his technique in ability on the ball is fantastic. The game is ever changing and defenders now have to be comfortable receiving the ball and passing with accuracy and tempo. You only have to look at the improvement in David Luiz at Chelsea this season for an example of a ball-playing centre back, who also makes the correct decisions in terms of his defending.

We look forward to watching the rest of your journey Arch, a SkillZone legend.
