We are bursting with pride to announce that our incredible U11 standout, Reese, has officially signed with the Chelsea FC Women’s Academy.

Finally, we are thrilled to celebrate our U13 goalkeeper, Molly, who has gained a place at Southampton FC! Molly’s journey has been nothing short of inspiring; since joining as an outfield player at U11 and making the bold decision to transition into goal at the start of this season, her rise has been meteoric. From our U13's to the JPL Warriors All-Star squad, her resilience and hard work have made her a true star.
