From the youngest to Cadets

Five development groups,each with a different next step.

Each age group needs a different approach, so the structure, expectations and coaching language develop with the players.

How to join

A clear and welcoming start.The first visit is about getting comfortable.

We begin by getting to know the player, then confirm the most suitable group, training time and a comfortable way to join.

I

Tell us about the player

Share the player’s name, year of birth and your contact details. We will suggest the right group and first visit.

II

Come to Julovica

The first session is a relaxed opportunity to meet the coach, see the group and understand how training works.

III

Settle into the right rhythm

The pace of joining depends on age, experience and how comfortable the player feels in a new environment.

IV

Keep growing

Regular training, matches and time with the team develop the footballer and the person behind the shirt.

How we want to work

Development is serious work,with the player kept at its centre.

Good development is visible in steady improvement, a coach who pays attention and a team the player wants to return to after both good and difficult matchdays.

Every new player is given time to settle in
Age guides the group, while development remains individual
Training is designed for the needs of each age group
Progress includes skill, confidence, habits and decision-making
Parents should always know who to contact and what comes next
Cadets should see a credible pathway into the senior team
