Age-Group Sessions

Four structured programmes, designed to develop players from their very first session to pre-academy level.

The Foundation programme is designed for players aged 5 and 6 who are just beginning their football journey. Sessions focus on ball familiarity, coordination, and movement, all delivered in a fun, encouraging environment that builds a love for the game.

Ball mastery and basic technique
Coordination and agility
Confidence and social development
Introduction to game situations

The Development programme builds on the foundations and starts to introduce more technical elements. Players begin to develop their individual identity on the pitch, with a strong focus on 1v1 ability, receiving under pressure, and positional awareness.

1v1 technical skills
Receiving and turning
Positional awareness
Decision-making in game situations

The Progression programme challenges players to raise their standard across technique, physical development, and game understanding. Sessions are more structured and demanding, and players are encouraged to compete and push themselves.

Advanced technique under pressure
Physical conditioning and athleticism
Tactical game understanding
Competitive environment

The Pre-Academy programme is for players who are ready to be pushed to the next level. Sessions replicate academy training standards and are designed to develop players who have ambitions to play at the highest level they can reach.

Academy-level training methodology
High-intensity technical work
Position-specific development
Mental and character development
