SATURDAY LEAGUE TEAMS

Saturday League Team (U6-U11):
Development Team

Our Saturday league teams compete in the Epsom & Ewell Youth Football League, and are exclusively for players who are part of our Development Centre. This gives players the chance to put their training into practice in a competitive match environment while continuing their development.

​

Entry Pathway:

  • 90% of players are selected from the WLFC Development Centre

  • 10% are recruited through:

    • WLFC Holiday Camps

    • Staff referrals (WLFC Managers / Coaches)

 

We DO NOT hold annual or open trials for our Saturday teams. All players are recruited from our development centre sessions. This is to ensure we have a pathway into competitive football for those committing to our programeme.​

To be invited, players must:

✔ Once a week training (minimum)

✔ Show commitment and a strong work ethic

✔ Demonstrate a positive attitude to learning – be coachable
