INSIDE HALE END | ’It’s in the club’s blood’ | Six-part documentary | Episode 1

If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at our world-famous academy, then Inside Hale End will offer unprecedented insight into the quest to develop future first-team stars. Our new six-part documentary series - presented by adidas x Arsenal - follows the paths of our under-15 and under-16 squads last season, taking an in-depth glimpse into their lives and what it means to be an aspiring footballer. For the first time, cameras were allowed on-site to follow academy manager Per Mertesacker, under-15s coach Adam Pilling and the under-16s’ Adam Birchall as they help the next generation plot a course from Hale End to London Colney, thanks to their first professional contract. The first three episodes are now available on for our Members to watch, with the following three episodes will be released on Tuesday, September 12.
