Elite Centre

What Is the Elite Centre?

We also offer younger players the opportunity to access high quality coaching through our Elite Centre training squads. These squads are designed to bring the players academy level coaching and experiences and aim to improve their technical, tactical and physical abilty.

Where is the Elite Centre Based?
The Squads train in Peterborough at the Stanground Powerleague Centre every Friday evening. With age groups from U7 through to U16 we have in place a programme aimed at giving youngsters opportunities to develop as players and individuals whilst giving them a visiable pathway into further education and the life as a full time player as part of the Football Development Centre programme

Players benefit from working with experienced professional coaches in a friendly and modern playing environment set up to ensure that the players feel safe and confortable to further aid their developement and learning.

What Times do the squads train and what is the Cost?
Times for these training sessions are as follows;
  Age Group Time Cost per week
U7 and U8 5.30 - 6.30pm £3.50
U9, U10 and U11 5.30 - 7.00pm £5.00

What other ways do players benefit from being an Elite Centre Player?
players are also introduced to other aspects of life as a footballer including nutrition for football and psychology along side treatment and prevention of injuries as well as dealing with outside influences that effect performance such as drugs.

This is as we say just additional information and guidance that we feel as professionals we can offer those young players who are wanting to develop and improve. Footballers now a days are intelligent people and from a young age are taught about the pressure life can throw at them and we believe that it should not just be the very biggest clubs and players which get this as it can benefit everyone.

Does the Elite Centre Travel abroad?
 The Elite Centre Squads also get opportunities to compete against other young promising footballers in European Tournaments and at residential training camps as well as at academy trials days here in the uk. We fell that these trips again further enhance the learning process for the players and widens their horizons providing life skills and experiences that thye would not otherwise be able to access.
