THE LATE BIRTHDAY PROJECT COMBATS THE SIGNIFICANT RELATIVE AGE EFFECT IN YOUTH FOOTBALL, BY OFFERING AN INNOVATIVE PROGRAMME OF PROFESSIONAL ACADEMY COACHING AND OPPORTUNITIES TO YOUNG FOOTBALLERS BORN BETWEEN JANUARY AND AUGUST ONLY*.This allows these players to flourish without the influence of older, bigger boys who might usually dominate their year groups – while better preparing them for playing with and against their older peers outside the academy.Individual player development is our main focus, and our approach, inspired partly by the famed AFC Ajax academy, will be underpinned by the principles of adaptability, purposeful-practice, self-belief and a desire to learn.From its launch in the Summer of 2016, LBP has quickly grown to 10 centres across Surrey and Sussex, including venues in Dorking, Walton-on-Thames, Godalming, Crawley and Haywards Heath.LBP players benefit from Invitation-only squads, UEFA Coaches & Premium 3G Facilities, plus a bespoke LBP Curriculum & Philosophy.Membership also includes: free 1on1 Coaching Sessions, free Adidas Match Kit, free Futsal, subsidised Holiday Camps, Showcase Games, Speed Training, Nutritional & Physiotherapy advice; and Psychology Workshops.There's also the opportunity to play in an Inter-centre LBP League and compete for the LBP Cup at our spectacular Finals Day each July.Close links to pro-clubs means we can invite scouts to watch players or send them for trials.LBP players have had great success: securing places in the academies at Fulham, Brighton, AFC Wimbledon and Crystal Palace, representing county teams including Surrey and Sussex, and making significant advances in their club football.* Sept-Dec born players can join LBP Dorking (Thursday or Saturday centres) but train a year up.BUT, MOST IMPORTANTLY, LBP PLAYERS LOVE COMING TO TRAINING!NEW: LBP Fitness - SAQ/Fitness 1on1s
