Academy timetable questions
How are age groups decided?
By school year, in line with the league rules, not by birthday.
Are fixtures always at home?
No, roughly half are away. Away venues are confirmed by Thursday each week.
Can players train up an age group?
Occasionally, at a coach’s invitation, and only where the league permits it.
Next step
Book a trials session.
Tell us the age group and we will confirm the next trial date.
