JDA Next Gens is a fun, welcoming football programme designed especially for children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 who are taking their very first steps into the game. Our carefully planned sessions create the perfect balance of enjoyment and learning - building confidence, improving coordination, and introducing the core football skills of dribbling, passing, and teamwork in a way that feels like play. Every activity is exciting, fast-moving, and inclusive, ensuring your child is always engaged, smiling, and developing without even realising it.​​

​

Sessions take place at  our new training ground - Royal Holloway Sports Centre - every Thursday Evening, 5-6pm, giving players a consistent, safe, and supportive environment to start their football journey. With our passionate JDA coaches leading the way, children are encouraged to express themselves, make new friends, and grow their love for the game from the very beginning.

But JDA Next Gens is more than just an introduction - it’s the start of a pathway. As your child develops, they’ll have the opportunity to progress into our JDA Academy teams, who proudly compete in the prestigious Junior Premier League (JPL). This gives children a clear route from fun-filled first sessions to high-level football, all within the same trusted, nurturing environment.

​

Whether your child dreams of one day playing competitively or simply wants to enjoy football in a fun and supportive setting, JDA Next Gens is the place where it all begins!
