MUFC Performance is a programme that aims to drive the club’s coaching and player development approach for the future, enabling us to attract, retain and develop more of our own players. The programme will be a bridge between our juniors section at grassroots, as well as our academy, men's and women's first team sides. 

 

MUFC Performance offers a programme for boys in the under 10, 11, 12 and 13 age groups and for girls at under 11 and 12. All boys sides will play in the Junior Premier League (JPL) with girls competing in the Berkshire County Girls League, many having the option to stretch themselves by playing ‘up’ a year group. It is the ambition of the club that the provision will grow and additional age groups will be added as the programme develops. 

 

MUFC Performance will embody ‘The Maidenhead Way’ and ensure players are guided through our pathway and supported in reaching their potential. The Performance programme will also look to keep our local community connected, meaning we will offer a player development environment designed to nurture talent and develop the skills which will support achievement on and off the pitch. To this end, the Performance programme will not only consist of team and individual training, but will also include a 'wider programme' syllabus that will educate participants in areas such as; performance analysis, nutrition, goal setting and many more! This will ensure that even if our performance centres are the height of our participants' lifetime football journey, they will able to take with them lessons they are able to use for the rest of their lives. 

 

MUFC Performance will be overseen by our 6 team managers, UEFA A Licence coaches Keith Ryan and Dave Kitson, who are our Heads of Performance respectively and Maidenhead United's Head of Operations Mark Nisbet.
