WELCOME TO OUR UD LEAGUE SQUADS!
A HEAD START FOR THEIR FIRST SEASON

As our budding UD players reach the age of 6 they have the option to join our league teams.

We are so excited to invite you to be a part of our U7s League squads for the upcoming 25/26 Season kicking off this September and running through until March 2026.

We have over 30 League teams at the club ranging from U7s - U16s for boys and girls. As a club we are entered into multiple leagues at various levels across different age groups. This means as our players get older we can move teams or players into different leagues to ensure they are challenged and progressing as a team, and also as individuals.

PREPARING FOR THEIR FIRST SEASON
U7S PRE-SEASON PROGRAMME

Our U7’s Pre-Season training programme looks to provide our youngest league players with a head start for the upcoming season, with training sessions specifically designed to develop the players’ understanding of the game in a more competitive setting.

WHY IS U7s PRE-SEASON SO IMPORTANT?
The transition from recreational to competitive football requires players to put all the skills they have been learning into the format of matches. Understanding positions, plays, manager direction, decision making and the new experience takes time and practice. Team building is equally important. Pre-Season ensures our new U7s have the time and experience to be confident walking onto the pitch for their first game come September. 

WHATS INCLUDED? 

  • 3 Months of league based training (April to mid July - Summer Term) 

  • 3-4 competitive matches against other local teams

  • Coaching from those that will lead and manage league fixtures next season

  • Fun and engaging sessions designed to develop technical, tactical, psychological, physical and social skills

  • Training sessions that explain the age-appropriate rules and regulations of the game

  • Team-building exercises designed to foster strong relationships with their new team mates

  • League Place Priority. Places are extremely limited, when allocating places we will give preference to players who have attended Pre-Season.

WHAT DOES JOINING THE LEAGUE TEAMS LOOK LIKE FOR OUR U7s PLAYERS?
REGENT’S PARK YOUTH LEAGUE

This league takes place in the picturesque location of Regents Park from September through to April and is a fantastic way for the players to apply and demonstrate all of the skills they have learned in training in a fun yet competitive game scenario against local opposition!

  • Fortnightly matches held on Saturday mornings

  • All games take place in Regent's Park
