About
Development Teams – U7 to U12 From U7 to U12, our teams also participate in the London Youth League on Sundays, giving players regular match experience in a central venue on a top-quality 4G pitch. This format simplifies logistics for families, ensures consistent fixtures, and exposes players to a variety of challenges and opponents. Competitive League Experience Our central venue Development Teams compete in the London Youth League, a league run in a central venue format with all matches played on a top-quality 4G pitch. This structure simplifies logistics and planning for players and families, with matches scheduled on Sunday afternoons and the full term’s fixtures provided in advance. Regular league matches allow players to apply what they’ve learned in training, refine their decision-making, and develop under real-game pressure. Facing strong opposition challenges players to improve both individually and as part of a team. The London Youth League experience is a vital stepping stone, offering the perfect balance of competition and learning, preparing players for higher-level matches and long-term success. Clear Pathway The Development Teams provide a clear progression route, giving every player a solid foundation and preparation needed to advance into our Elite Teams or pursue other higher-level opportunities. Monthly homework and tracking metrics are emphasised to help players improve and ensure a clear feedback loop between coaches, players, and parents.
