WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT BEGINS

Evolution Academy is our invite-only player development programme, designed for ambitious young footballers looking to develop within a high-level environment.

Get Started

how the academy works

01 — INVITE & SELECTION

Players join the Academy through our invite and selection process, ensuring groups are built around players who are committed to developing and progressing.

TRAIN & DEVELOP

Players who are focused primarily on their individual development train within the Academy environment, working with our coaches to improve their technical, tactical and physical abilities. This pathway provides a high-level training environment without the requirement to play competitive fixtures.

TRAIN, COMPETE

Players selected for JPL train at the highest level within the Academy and represent Evolution in competitive fixtures. The JPL provides an additional challenge for players who are ready to test their development against strong opposition while continuing to work towards the next stage of their football journey.

WHERE CAN EVOLUTION TAKE YOU?

Development is only the beginning. A key part of the Evolution Academy is identifying and creating opportunities for players to progress towards the next level of football.


As players develop within our environment, we continually assess their progress, ability and individual needs. Our aim is to help every player understand what they need to improve and provide the right challenges and opportunities to help them move forward.


For some players, this may mean progressing into professional or semi-professional academy environments. For others, the next step may be through Evolution's JPL, U23 or senior football pathways, providing continued opportunities to develop and compete at a higher level.

We understand that every player's journey is different. Our goal isn't to take every player down the same route, it's to help every player find the right next step for them.
