JDA Academy

THE BIGGEST EVENT JDA HAVE EVER ATTENDED. 🏆🌍

This weekend, our U8 Teals head to the ENG International Cup Grand Finals 2026 at Lilleshall National Sports Centre - the biggest event of the year, where the very best teams from across the country come together.

And honestly… these boys deserve every second of it. 🩵

What a season it has been already:
🏆 JPL Champions at Slough
🥈 ENG Grand Finals Finalists
🔥 Qualified through an unbelievably tough London qualifying group back in October
⚽ And now… the BIG ONE.

To think this group came through the qualifiers against some outstanding sides and have continued to compete at the very top level all season is something we are unbelievably proud of as a club.🙌🏼

Today, the boys head up together for a team bonding evening with bowling 🎳, a team dinner 🍽️ and an overnight stay 🛌 before the action begins tomorrow.

Moments like these are what football is all about. Creating memories, building friendships and experiencing incredible opportunities together as a team. 🤩

Tomorrow, they go again against the very best.

No matter what happens this weekend, these boys have already represented JDA in the best possible way and continue to show exactly what this academy is about.

Now it’s time to enjoy every second and give it absolutely everything. 👊

Good luck boys!

Another brilliant evening for our JDA teams. 🙌

Great experiences for our players tonight, competing against strong opposition at both Southampton and Fulham in games that continue to challenge and develop them in the right way. ⚽️

Really proud of the way all of the players represented JDA across both fixtures - lots of quality football, hard work, and plenty of positive moments throughout the evening. 👏

Both coming away with hugely successful evenings, our U8’s with a strong win and team performance, and our U7’s playing some incredible football, battling hard and coming away winning the tournament!🏆

A huge thank you to both clubs for having us. More exciting opportunities still to come before the season ends… 🤩

A massive opportunity tonight for our U8 Blacks players as they head to face Fulham FC in their Advance Centre fixture 🔥

Experiences like these are what football is all about - testing yourselves against top opposition, learning, competing and making memories together.

Really proud that ALL of our U8 Blacks players have been invited in for tonight’s game, providing opportunities for all of our players across the Academy 🖤

Go and enjoy every second boys 🙌🏼⚽️

2 Pro club trips in 1 night for JDA👀🤩

Another brilliant experience ahead for our JDA players tonight as our U7 Teals head to face Southampton in their Advance Centre fixture 🔥

A huge positive for us is seeing 3 of our U7 Blacks players stepping up into the squad for tonight’s game too 👏

That pathway, opportunity and development across ALL groups is exactly what JDA is about.

Go and enjoy it boys 🙌🏼⚽️

A massive day for JDA at the ENG West London Premier League Grand Finals🏆⚽️

Three teams competing.
Three teams performing unbelievably well.
Three teams making us incredibly proud.

Our U6s reached the semi-finals after a fantastic tournament, our U7s narrowly missed out on the final after some brilliant football throughout the day, and our U8s made it all the way to the final at Wycombe Wanderers Stadium after an unbelievable run against some top level opposition 🔥
