4–5 Years
Junior Foundation Programme
Our UD Junior Foundation programme sees us host weekly co-ed sessions for children aged 4–5 years, building the foundational skills and game understanding that prepare them for the Foundation programme and optional league games from six years old.
The next step
Each session follows a detailed scheme of work whereby all the technical, tactical, physical and emotional elements of football are factored in.
Through midweek and weekend sessions, we aim to fully prepare our players to compete in league games, if they wish to make the step into the competitive world of football.
“United Dragons is a phenomenal organization run by a passionate, energetic, and dedicated coaching staff. Our kids absolutely love it and look forward to every practice and match. Highly recommend!”

Building the foundations
Junior Foundation is the natural next step on from our Little Dragons programme. We introduce new components and topics that challenge children at exactly the right level for their age group.
Sessions remain co-ed and recreational, with participation and enjoyment at the heart of everything we do.
Understanding the game
Alongside developing core techniques, we begin to introduce simple game situations so children start to understand how football is played.
Every child is encouraged to make decisions, express themselves and grow in confidence with the ball.
Preparing for the next step
Everything we do prepares children for the Foundation programme and optional league games from six years old.
By the time players move up, they have the skills, understanding and confidence to take on new challenges.
