Head of Youth Stewart Drummond spoke to iFollow to explain some of the recent developments in the youth department and the thinking behind ‘Academy Day’.

The academy is inviting its players and their families to watch the Sky Bet League 2 clash against Colchester United and experience match day at Globe Arena.

The Academy moved to Category 3 status in 2017; meaning it now has over 150 players in age groups from Under 7 to Under 18, regularly training and representing the Club.

‘Academy Day’ gives Morecambe Football Club the opportunity to recognise the contribution of players and their families.

The young Shrimps will be presented on the pitch at half-time, for supporters to show their appreciation. There will also be special content in the match day programme, including contributions from academy parents, coaches and players.
