The Academy, Kirkby

The Academy is Liverpool Football Club's training facility in Kirkby, equipped with multiple grass and synthetic pitches, modern fitness areas, and an indoor sports hall for players of all ages. The grounds include tennis courts and beach volleyball courts alongside the main training fields to support a wide range of football preparation needs.

Liverpool Football Club relocated its first team from the previous Melwood ground to this expanded facility in Kirkby in 2020. The move represented a significant investment in modernizing the club's training infrastructure and supporting long-term development.

The Academy follows specific training principles focused on Technique, Attitude, Balance, and Speed while nurturing young talents for professional football careers.

The facility is easily accessible from Kirkby town center, with good links to local transport options for visitors. Access to the grounds may be restricted since this remains a working training facility for club operations.

This training ground combines first-team operations with youth development programs, allowing seamless integration between senior and junior players.
