Children develop at different rates and stages as they grow. Many early developers are selected due to their superior movement skills, ability with the ball at their feet or physical ability to over power their opponents. At age 8 when players are first selected into clubs there can be upto a 60% difference in physical development between children of the same age. At 8 years old, a player who been playing with a ball from age 4 has spent 50% of his life playing with a ball. Compare that to a child that starts at 7 and they’ve had 37.5% less experience of the game regardless of number of hours of actually practice.This is a major principle in the design of the program at all age groups. There is a lot of research to demonstrate that selection of players into an EFL Academy setting pre puberty is inconsistent and results in a loss of talent potential. As many as 80% of players selected at 8 years old are out of the EFL system by 14. A program which has a potential for players to be released can create unnecessary stress and anxiety.

It is the aim of the club to establish and deliver a program for development to keep players active, provide a challenging and professional environment, a competitive games program and above all an education that will allow each player to develop an understanding of the game they need in order to enter the Elite phase at the right stage.
