In 2023, we launched our junior section, adding to our three senior teams that participate in amateur to semi-professional football within The Northern League at our esteemed Willow Park.
The juniors made their debut in grassroots football with five teams, which expanded to fifteen within a season. Now as we enter our third season, we coach over 340 players.
This achievement can be credited to the coaching syllabus that adheres to academy standards, which all coaches implement. Our goal is to offer players of all ages and skill levels the chance to express themselves on the field. We are committed to guiding young players to embrace their uniqueness while honing their natural abilities, with a strong focus on teamwork, respect, and proper conduct.
