The Ascent Programme
Helping Young Players Rise — On and Off the Pitch
What Is the Ascent Programme?
The Ascent Programme is a 12-week football journey that helps young players grow in mindset, motivation, and self-belief — while developing their football skills in a fun, supportive environment.
Every session is designed so children don’t just play the game…
They learn how to rise in life through the game.

🧘 Stay calm under pressure and playing with clarity.
⚡Show more drive, energy, and persistence.
🦁 Have more courage to try new things and step forward.
