Developing the skills and talents of the very best young football players in the Deep South Peninsula of Cape Town. We offer aspiring players a platform and opportunities to progress to the very highest level. We offer a Elite player pathway to top professional clubs in Europe, Saudi Arabia and Australia.

Our juniors programme starts from the age of 5 up to 14. During the course  2025-2026 we will be adding Under 16. Each age group will have their own Head Coach & Assistant Coach along with a Goalkeeper Coach.

There will also be a senior team that will train 2 times a week on the Generation School field.

Trial days will be communicated via our Social media platform.

Positive Mentoring and Support

Our aim is to be the most caring and challenging football centre of excellence in Africa. The Centre’s Performance Department works to create an environment that supports players’ short, medium & long-term goals. The centre’s core values are: discipline – humbleness – respect.

This is tailored to the needs of the individual. This approach effectively bridges the gap between the more limited opportunities for development at a grass roots level.
