Saturday Soccer School – Player Development with Academy-Level Coaches

At AFC Whyteleafe, Saturday Soccer School provides a high-quality player development environment for players from Reception to Year 6.

Delivered weekly on our 4G pitch, sessions combine enjoyment with clear development standards, making them suitable for players of all abilities, including those already playing regular football.


A Structured, Development-Focused Environment

Each session is planned to maximise learning and engagement, with a strong emphasis on technical development and game understanding.

Players benefit from:

  • Age-appropriate ball mastery and technical stations

  • High ball-rolling time and progressive challenges

  • Competitive small-sided games that develop confidence and decision-making

Sessions remain fun and inclusive, while maintaining clear expectations around tempo, focus, and standards.


Academy-Level Coaching Experience

Saturday Soccer School includes involvement from academy-experienced and high-level coaches, helping to reinforce modern, development-led training practices and raise overall standards.


A Clear Pathway Within AFC Whyteleafe

Saturday Soccer School operates in line with the AFC Whyteleafe player pathway, reflecting the same coaching principles used across the club.

Players who demonstrate strong technical ability, attitude, and commitment may be observed and considered for appropriate opportunities within the club as they develop, making the programme particularly attractive to players seeking high-quality training within a club offering a genuine long-term pathway.
