Training

Sevenoaks Town Juniors FC train at Knole Academy Astroturf on both Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but primarily Wednesdays. Some of our Kent Youth League teams train on grass under floodlights. Each team has a time slot on the astroturf. Training focuses on technique and fitness and it runs throughout the season. During pre-season our teams train of grass and these sessions are arranged by the respective manager.

All of the teams are coached by FA Qualified Coaches whether that be the manager or First Class Football, who are a local coaching company. In addition all the coaching is done by people who have been CRB checked and undergone First Aid Courses and Safeguarding Children Courses. This is a requirement of the Charter Standard Scheme, which aims to enhance the the running of clubs such as ours, of which we hold the most elite status: Charter Standard Community Status.

STJFC have used First Class Football since 2006 and their involvement in the club has grown significantly. First Class Football, run by Ben Tadmor and Andy McAllen both UEFA B Licencsed coaches, together with their team of qualified coaches provide coaching for some of our teams. Ben and Andy have experience of coaching for Charlton Athletic FC and Tottenham Hotspurs FC.

Please can we remind everyone to arrive at training promptly to maximise training time. The training times for each team are as follows:
