A New Era for Unforgettable Youth Football Experiences
REPs Football, short for Regional Emerging Players, is a club that has evolved over the years, who continually find ways to create opportunities for players. We want to enhance players experiences within sport, educate them on social values, and help influence them into becoming great young adults.
Initially formed as a team to represent Yorkshire, these representative teams are probably the highest level that grassroots players can be part of. These teams are a mixture of grassroots players and signed professional academy players (CAT 1-3). Representative teams are the only teams that academy players have permission to play for outside of the system, giving them an opportunity to represent their region.
Our team was part of a club that helped develop talents such as Liam Cooper, Keane Lewis-Potter, Nick Barmby, and many others, including current scholarship holders who have already represented their nations at u15s level.
Unfortunately, representative football stops at U15-U16 level. As a result, the grassroots players capable of competing at this high level have nowhere to go except to return to Sunday League Football. Emerge was born, a club dedicated to showcasing unsigned talent – players we believed still have the potential to pursue a professional football career. Relocating, we’ve “relaunched” as REPs Football with the initial focus on providing professional coaching, and amazing experiences to 11+ year olds.
Having already experienced the highs of the Gothia Cup (also referred to as The Youth World Cup), we are aiming to provide more young footballers with opportunities to experience similar journeys together. We realised that many young athletes struggle to find access to high-quality training. Along with our European trips, we have launched a series of residential professional training camps. The all-inclusive 3-day, 2-night stay football residential training camps are delivered by professional coaches who hold UEFA qualifications, and either work or have worked within the professional game. Each lead coach will be joined by highly qualified physiotherapists to help ensure player care is of the highest-level.
With a carefully crafted syllabus players can expect to leave camp with valuable knowledge that will help them develop as players. Our mission is to create fearless individuals; playing without fear on the pitch regardless of the situation that they find themselves in.
