JPL Academy Test on Saturday & League Battle on Sunday
This weekend marks a huge back-to-back test for our Saracens Velocity FC U15s, as they step into two competitive fixtures across JPL academy football and grassroots league football. These matches reflect exactly what our programme stands for: high-level development, consistency, and preparing young players for the demands of the modern game.

🏆 JPL
Saturday’s fixture sees our U15s competing away in the Junior Premier League (JPL) against Leyton Orient Development FC, a strong academy-linked programme. JPL football provides an excellent platform for players to experience elite-level opposition, faster game tempo, and higher tactical demands.
This match is a key opportunity for our players to apply their academy-level training, decision-making, and positional discipline under pressure — all core components of our long-term player development model.
Sunday 11th January 2026
League Fixture – U15s
Saracens Velocity FC vs LAFC
📍 Southgate School, Sussex Way, Cockfosters, Barnet, EN4 0BL
⏰ Meet for 9:15am
👕 Green Kit
On Sunday, the squad returns to grassroots league football, facing LAFC in what promises to be a competitive and physical encounter. These matches are just as important, reinforcing consistency, resilience, and team identity across consecutive game days.
Managing performance across a back-to-back weekend is a vital learning experience for young players, testing recovery, focus, and mentality — key traits we prioritise within our coaching programme.
