Step 01 — Is This You?
Boys Academy Is Built For Your Child If They…
Is Moving Up From Pre Academy
Pre Academy gave them the foundations. Boys Academy is where those foundations get tested — technically, tactically, and physically.
Wants a Pathway to Competitive Football
Boys Academy is the direct feeder into our MJPL and JPL squads. Players who are ready get identified and progressed — there's a real next step.
Has Friends or Siblings in MJPL
Older players in our Saturday squads started here. Boys Academy is where the pathway into competitive Leicester football begins.
Step 02 — Why Boys Academy
Four Things Parents Tell Us Matter Most.
UEFA B and C Qualified
The same coaches who run our MJPL squads work with Boys Academy players. A junior training programme built on real coaching methodology.
12 Players, One Coach
Every session, every player gets individual feedback. Small groups are the difference between going through the motions and actually improving.
The MJPL Pathway
Boys Academy players who are ready get identified for our Saturday squads. The pathway is real, and the coaches know where each player is heading.
Kit Included
A full Nike kit is included in your joining fee. They arrive at their first session as part of the squad — not as a visitor.
Step 03 — Inside a Session
Ninety Minutes. Five Parts. All Development.
Every Boys Academy session is structured around technical and tactical development — building the individual qualities and game understanding players need to progress.
Warm-Up & Activation
Position-specific movement, dynamic stretching, and technical warm-up with the ball.
At 9–12, sessions need to prepare players physically and mentally. The warm-up sets the tone for the standard expected in the session.
Technical Block
One focused technical theme — receiving, passing combinations, 1v1 defending, or finishing under pressure.
Deliberate practice on isolated techniques builds the habits players need before they can apply them in match situations.
Tactical Game
The session theme applied in a structured exercise with positional and decision-making constraints.
Linking technique to tactics is what separates academy training from kick-about football. Players learn to make decisions, not just execute skills.
Coached Small-Sided Games
High-intensity 4v4 to 7v7 games with coaching interventions and structured feedback.
The game is the best teacher. Coaches guide rather than lecture — players solve problems, make errors, get corrected, and improve.
Cool Down & Review
Active recovery, one individual takeaway per player, session summary.
Individual feedback in the cooldown is when players connect what they practised to what they produced. It's brief, specific, and actionable.
