All of our players will stay at our nearby Student Village. Every player will have his own individual bedroom with En-Suite. Every room also comes with free Wi-Fi and a small fridge for storing drinks and snacks.

Where do I get food?

Hot and cold food is available from 7am - 10pm at the cafe within our nearby Student Village. Snacks are also available during training hours at Leeds University. You will also have access to your own dedicated kitchen (shared with 5 other players) fully equipped with plates and cutlery for every player within the student village.

Do I need my own kit?

No, we will provide you with a fresh Nike kit each morning before training. The only things you need to bring are your own football boots, shin pads and casual clothes for use in your leisure time.

Are goalkeepers given specialist training?

Yes, goalkeepers will receive specialist coaching throughout the week. Our current goalkeeping coach is Sal Bibbo who was previously first team goalkeeping coach at Reading FC.

You will be placed into a team based on your current age. We will have several age groups including Under 13s, Under 14s, Under 15s, Under 16s, Under17s, Under 18s and Over 18s.

Are parents welcome to watch?

From Monday to Thursday the players will be in training and we would ask for privacy so that the players can bond with their teammates. However, on the Friday (the final day) then parents are more than welcome to come along and watch the event. We will be kicking off at 11am and the event will be finished by 4pm.
