Ethan has been fortunate enough to be part of The Dundee Academy for a few years now and is part of the U15 squad. In his time with the Academy, he has been given fantastic opportunities to progress and develop through football.

To show his gratitude, Ethan is doing a bungee jump on 31st July to raise much needed funds for the Academy. He was eagerly awaiting his 14th birthday so that he’d be old enough to jump! The Highland Fling Bungee jump is a free-fall experience of 40 metres towards water from a platform suspended below the Garry bridge over the River Garry near Pitlochry. An airborne flight of a few seconds at over 50 mph before a special Bungee jump cord springs you back to normal, upright, life.

The purpose of the Dundee Academy CIC is to provide opportunities for all children and young people to enter the football pathway and progress to the desired level regardless of background. The main purpose will be to provide a world-class sporting system that creates an environment for all to take their potential to the highest level via world-class coaching, development, training and education.

The Dundee Academy aims to support closing the equity gap in Dundee and surrounding areas by identifying and developing players from the most disadvantaged backgrounds through a multi-agency approach that supports, nurtures and educates players to become successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens whilst becoming the best version of themselves to succeed, whether that be in football or in life.
