The Under-23s Project
A place for talented young footballers to develop. Elite training standards with a pathway to pro. Tuesday nights at Coombe Wood (Croydon). Free to attend!
Apply nowTrain with the first-team staff
Every Tuesday night, our first-team coaches run high-level training for players aged 16 to 23. Strength and conditioning, fitness, injury prevention and football. Elite standards, real demands, and honest feedback from the people who prepare our first team week to week.
You'll train alongside members of the first-team squad, and get the chance to learn from their standards directly. How they train, how they overcome setbacks.
This runs through the season and into the next. It isn't a taster and it isn't a camp. Turn up, work hard, keep coming back.

The club was founded in 2020 by people who believed Croydon had more football in it than anyone was giving it credit for. Six years on, that hasn't changed.
If you're ready to be pushed, we'll see you Tuesday.
Active. Always.
