Under 13s – Boys and Girls (Aged 12-13)

The Under 13s team is for boys and girls aged 12-13 (School Year 8) from Potton and the surrounding area. At this stage, players continue to build on their technical and tactical knowledge while experiencing more competitive football environments.

Training sessions are focused on enhancing advanced skills, including ball control under pressure, strategic passing, accurate shooting, and effective defensive techniques. Tactical concepts such as pressing, counter-attacking, and set-piece strategies are also introduced and practised.

Under 13s players regularly compete in league matches and tournaments, with an emphasis on teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship. Coaches aim to balance individual player development with team success, ensuring that every player has the opportunity to contribute and grow.

At this level, physical fitness and endurance play a greater role, with sessions incorporating activities designed to improve agility, speed, and strength. Mental aspects of the game, such as decision-making and resilience, are also emphasised to prepare players for higher levels of football.

The Under 13s programme is designed to challenge and inspire players, fostering a competitive yet supportive environment where they can refine their skills, deepen their understanding of the game, and develop a lasting passion for football.
