PREMIER LEAGUE PRIMARY STARS FUNDING
The Premier League Primary Stars programme is an initiative designed to inspire children through the power of football. It aims to promote physical activity, teamwork, and essential life skills among young people. This programme provides resources and support to schools, helping them engage students in a fun and educational way.
We are excited about the opportunity to work with the Premier League Primary Stars programme. This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission at Maidenhead United FC to nurture young talent and foster a love for the game. Together, we can create a positive impact in our community and inspire the next generation of footballers and human-beings.
The £25,000 funding provided through the Premier League Primary Stars programme will significantly support Maidenhead United FC. It will enable us to enhance our youth development initiatives, provide additional training resources, and create more opportunities for local schools to engage with football. Our goal is to instill important values such as respect, resilience, and teamwork while ensuring that children have fun and stay active.
We look forward to collaborating closely with the Premier League Primary Stars programme. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of young people in our community, helping them to thrive both on and off the pitch.

RECENT PREMIER PRIMARY STARS EVENTS
OLDFIELD PRIMARY SCHOOL TRIP
In early November 2025, we welcomed Oldfield Primary School for a school trip to York Road. The children, from Year 4, took part in four different activities in a morning of fun-filled Maidenhead United x Premier League Primary Stars action!
The first of was an Anti-Bullying workshop, detailing all the signs and actions required when noticing bullying in places like the school playground. With stickers and certificates on the line the students were eager to show just how hard they had been listening when it came to a quiz at the end of the day.
The students were then put through their literature paces with a workshop from Dan at the Maidenhead Advertiser. He tasked the students with using their literature skills to describe some of the best images from Maidenhead United matchdays. Ranging from massive celebrations following a Josh Popoola goal to defensive challenges from the skipper.
Students then moved onto a ground tour as our Club Secretary took a group of students through some of the many fun and historic facts about United and York Road. The students were then treated with entry into the Home Changing Room, where they would then get to feel like one of the players for just a short period of time - even trying on some of the freshly clean kits! Before being quizzed about the use of changing room equipment and getting the chance to ask any questions about matchday activities.
The final activity of the day was a range of physical activities in The Cage, delivered by Maidenhead United in the Community coaching staff. These activities ranged from hula hoop toss and capture the flag to a blindfolded assault course. Allowing the students to run off a little bit of their last energy before returning to school just in time for lunch.
GIRLS ONLY SESSION AT WESSEX SCHOOL
Throughout the year with the help of PLPS we must deliver extra curriculum girls only football sessions. At Wessex Primary School we run this session every Wednesday as part of the PLPS campaign.
On the opening week of December 2025, four of our Maidenhead United Women First Team players came down to join in the session and take part in a Q&A session. The students were more than happy to grill our players with some challenging questions.
