U7 - U10

Mini Soccer

Mini-Soccer modifies association football without losing the essence of the game. Mini-Soccer is the appropriate introduction to football. All available research and observation shows that children will have more fun and learn more playing a game with smaller teams and modified rules.

U5 and U6 years

We focus purely on learning with a ball, with sessions structured around fun.

U7 and into U8 years

Familiarisation with small sided games and some gentle development work in training. Time spent on the pitch in a game is not based on ability.

U9 and U10 years

Skill levels and experience start to show (for some, not all). Technical development comes more to the fore, to work towards improving skills and ability.

Our ever-growing Wildcats fun football sessions run on Saturday mornings 9-10am in Edlesborough.  For Girls in School Years 3-7.  Please email enquiries@eblions.co.uk

U11 - U18

Youth Football

Youth football is the next step up from mini-soccer. The players will start to play on bigger pitches and incorporate more complex rules and strategies into the game. The FA suggest that building up pitch, ball and goal sizes season by season allows player development to progress fluidly.

U11-12 years

An introduction into 9 a side football – merging of 7 a side teams

U12-14 years

Introduction of 11 a side, ability really does start to show and focus will move to playing best 11-14, whilst trying to improve those players falling below the ‘bar’

U15-18 years

Competitive football where the best will play and full competitive team positions exist.
