Under 13

Our Under 13s are led by James, who works with the group to support their continued development both individually and as a team. At this important stage, the focus is on challenging players to improve their technical ability, tactical understanding, and overall performance, while also building confidence and resilience on the pitch.

As the team prepares for the future, there is also an emphasis on strengthening the squad and building a solid foundation for the seasons ahead, ensuring players are ready to progress and compete at an increasingly higher level.

The team plays its home fixtures on Sundays, with kick-off times varying depending on opposition and pitch availability. These matchdays provide players with the opportunity to apply their training in a competitive yet supportive environment, helping them grow in both ability and game awareness.

Training sessions take place every Monday evening, with seasonal adjustments throughout the year:

• April – October: 6:00pm – 7:30pm on the grass pitches at Colne Valley High School
• Winter months: 7:00pm – 8:00pm on the 4G pitch

Sessions are designed to be both engaging and challenging, combining technical development, tactical work, and match-based scenarios to support player progression.

What to Bring

To ensure players are prepared and able to participate safely, they should bring:

• Football boots (or trainers for indoor sessions, if required)
• Shin pads (mandatory for all training and matches)
• Appropriate clothing suitable for the weather conditions
• A drink to stay hydrated
• Any necessary medication (e.g. inhalers), clearly labelled and accessible
