Pre-Season League Programme

Our Pre-Season League Programme is back for 2026 and it’s one of the best parts of the year!

Running every Saturday in Regent’s Park from April to July, it’s built for our league players who want to keep improving while everyone else is switching off. Expect high-tempo coaching, competitive friendly matches, loads of touches and game time in the sunshine.

And it’s not just UD coaches. This year, throughout the programme players will also learn from top industry professionals, including elite coaches, nutritionists, and sports psychologists.

This is where players level up - sharper technique, better decision-making, more confidence in matches, and real momentum going into next season.

If you want to start the new season flying, this is how you do it!

THE PRE-SEASON BREAKDOWN!

KEEP THE MOMENTUM ROLLING!

Pre-Season includes 4 to 6 competitive friendlies across the term, giving players regular match action through the summer. It’s the perfect way to build on last season, stay sharp, and keep that competitive edge ticking over while other teams take a break.

BRINGING THE GAME PLAN TO LIFE.

Led by our league managers and senior coaching team, these sessions are built specifically for league players. We will sharpen technical quality, improve tactical understanding, and focus on the key details that win matches - positioning, decision-making, teamwork and communication.

Pre-Season is also a big part of our squad planning for the 2026-27 league season. With multiple teams per age group across different leagues and divisions, we will use the training sessions and competitive friendlies throughout the programme to assess players and help place each one in the right team and the right level for next season.

U7S - GET READY FOR POSITIONS, TEAMWORK AND MATCH TIME!

Moving from recreational sessions into league football is a big (and exciting) step. Players are suddenly learning positions, match rules, listening to a manager, making quicker decisions, and putting all their skills into real game moments - plus building chemistry with new teammates.

Pre-Season gives our new U7s the time to settle in properly, practise the match-day routine, and grow in confidence, so when September comes around they are ready to enjoy their first league games.

ELITE COACHES, NUTRITIONISTS AND SPORTS PSYCHOLOGISTS.

This year, Pre-Season gets an extra boost with special guest sessions from top industry professionals - including elite coaches, nutritionists and sports psychologists. Players will get behind-the-scenes insight, practical tools, and game-changing habits to sharpen performance, build confidence, and arrive at the new season feeling ready to fly - physically, mentally and tactically.
