CACT Development Centres

Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT) offers players aged U9-U16, who have previous club football experience, the opportunity to train weekly at one of our Development Centres.

Delivered over a 12-week program, players will be coached by UEFA and FA licensed coaches and follow a specialised curriculum designed in line with the Charlton Athletic Academy philosophy. Sessions focus on developing players' technical, tactical, physical and social skills, helping them enhance their performance and understanding of 7-a-side, 9-a-side and 11-a-side football.

CACT also provides dedicated goalkeeper coaching, with bespoke sessions designed to improve goalkeepers' technical ability, decision-making and game-related skills.

The Development Centre acts as a natural progression from our Charlton Challenge program and provides talented players with the opportunity to continue their football development in a challenging and supportive environment. Players who consistently demonstrate the required ability, attitude and potential may be invited to attend our Advanced Centre, which supports the Charlton Athletic Academy pathway.

Please note there will be no session Tuesday 27th October
