For FC Twenty 11 players aged 8 to 12
For 2026 this will be children born from 2014 to 2018 (2013 players refer to CDL page)
Our club vision has always been to provide opportunities for players, coaches, and club members to succeed in gaining football knowledge and skills, inspiring them to participate in and enjoy the world game. The programme provides for those who are seeking extra challenges. In 2026, we will be further enhancing this by developing and progressing our young players to advance their skills, playing ability, and confidence, through the adoption of a development pathway. The aim of this pathway is to nurture the current abilities of our players and give them the opportunity to be part of a long-term programme focusing on our club values and philosophies, education, and of course football training.
Taught at an age-appropriate level (from 8th Grade), this programme will unlock a player’s higher potential as they advance through the grades towards Youth Football selection. This programme is designed to challenge players skills and develop understanding through repetition, decision making and game realistic training. These will be addressed by training twice weekly (with a game day on Saturday) with a dedicated Coach (All Program delivery is overseen by Will Morgan "OFC" C - License and JL3 Coach).
The Development Programmes are designed for committed players who wish to train twice a week. These teams are announced by the Director of Football, after the team allocation sessions, and in collaboration with other club coaches (requests to play with friends in the development programme are not accepted).
For those players (8th – 12th Grade) who wish to continue playing for FUN with their friends, we will continue the current club pathway with opportunities for them to train with development players.
For those players born in 2013 or earlier, please refer to the CDL page that includes our Canterbury Development League and U13 Talent Development Program information.
