The club policy is to start the children young, and with this in mind we encourage children from the age of 5 by inviting then to participate in academy nights.

We have some very dedicated trainers ( Often fathers of children who gain Coaching skills and qualifications through the club) who like to concentrate on developing the younger kids with a view to preparing them for the start of competitive football. League entries start at Under 8's in the Eastleigh and District Mini soccer league. Mr Darren Taylor heads up the minis section of the club.

At the academy the emphasis is upon fun first with a gentle training programme to generate interest and enthusiasm.

 As part of the academy they will be able to attend social events, take part in friendly games and learn the basic rules and attributes of football. The club has a robust behaviour policy designed to encourage good citizenship, sportsmanship, but with a competitive edge.

In the winter months the mini's continue academy in indoor venues but in summer fresh air is the order of the day.
