Youth Academy

The Youth Academy provides a structured, player-centred pathway designed to support the technical, tactical, physical, psychological and social development of young footballers through to the Professional Development Phase.

• Age Groups: U12 - U16 Boys & Girls

• Training: Monday to Friday at The Martin Tyler Performance Centre and Winston Churchill School

• Fixtures: Each team plays within the Junior Premier League, with matches taking place on Saturdays.

Coaching Aims: Players benefit from high-quality coaching, regular competitive fixtures, individual development plans and opportunities to test themselves against strong opposition. Our coaching philosophy promotes technical excellence, intelligent decision-making, creativity, resilience and a strong understanding of the game.

Progression: Players can progress from the youth development phase into our full time senior boys academy. We are hopeful in launching a full time senior girls academy in the coming seasons.
