Our Pathway

We are extremely proud of our development pathway for players, coaches, and referees at the club, and we provide excellent opportunities for all members, from youth to senior level, to learn new skills, hone existing ones, and work together to put Leicester Athletic on the map at all levels of the game.

Junior Academy

We have a Junior Academy running from under 8s to under 16s level, where our focus is getting players touches on the ball, making as many decisions as possible, and preparing them to play futsal and football at the highest level possible. We have experienced, qualified coaches who put our youth players through their paces at weekly sessions and a fixture programme that allows players to practise the skills they've learned. We also provide opportunities for our academy players to learn from our senior players and develop skills outside of just playing, offering coaching and officiating courses once players are eligible.

Senior Women

For women aged 16 or over, our Senior Women's team plays at National Futsal Series Tier 2 level, having had a short hiatus away from the national pyramid last season. We have a mix of experienced senior players, players new to futsal, and everything in between.

Senior Men

Our Senior Men's teams play at local and national level in the English futsal pyramid. We have one squad that all train and learn together, and the path from our under 16s to development team to first team is a transient one for players, with opportunities for people to excel at each level.
