Elite Process

Our university programme for 18-23 year olds gives aspiring young footballers the chance to combine football and education on a full time basis mirroring the schedule of professional football apprentices. 

The Football

Training

Players train four times a week and play in a weekly games programme working with UEFA/FA qualified coaches who have a proven track record developing players in the technical, tactical, physical, and social aspects of the game.

Professional Games Programme

On top of weekly league fixtures against local colleges and universities, our players have a full games programme with 25+ matches every season against professional football clubs across the UK and Europe. Games take place at the training grounds of the professional clubs we play against, and occasionally at their home stadium. These matches provide young aspiring footballers with fantastic opportunities to showcase their abilities directly in front of head scouts, head coaches, and directors of professional football clubs.
