JPL SEASON STARTS

A New Season Begins — Welcome to 2026/27

The 2026/27 season officially begins on 5 September 2026, and we are incredibly excited to welcome all our players and families back for another year of football, development, teamwork and new experiences.

The first weeks of the season will be an important period for our players. During our initial sessions, games and venues will be confirmed and communicated through our portal, allowing everyone to start the season with the right information and preparation. Our priority from the very beginning will be to establish a strong foundation for the players' development, with training, matches and experiences designed to help every player grow both on and off the pitch.

For our younger age groups, the beginning of the season will be particularly focused on development, learning and enjoying the game. From U12 upwards, we will also begin our competitive journey through the JPL Cup leagues, giving players the opportunity to experience competitive football and apply the principles they work on every week in training. The official JPL league matches will kick off from 26 September, marking the beginning of another exciting league campaign.

Registration — An Important Reminder for All Parents

Before the season gets fully underway, we ask all parents to make sure that their players are fully registered and up to date on all three required platforms:

• Our Academy Portal

• The FA Portal

• The JPL / GotSport Portal

Please ensure that all registrations, documents and required information are completed correctly. This is essential to ensure that players are eligible to participate in training, matches and competitions throughout the season.

A New School Year, A New Football Season

As we begin another football season, we also want to wish all our players a fantastic start to the new school year.

Football is an important part of a young person's journey, but it is only one part of their development. Education, school, friendships, discipline and personal growth are equally important, and we encourage every player to approach both school and football with the same commitment, responsibility and positive attitude.

The habits players develop through school and sport — consistency, teamwork, resilience, respect and learning from mistakes — can stay with them throughout their lives.

Parents: Supporters, Not Additional Coaches

Finally, we want to speak directly to our parents, because you are an incredibly important part of every player's development.

Your role is not to become another coach.

Your role is to be a supporter.

Players need parents who encourage them, help them through difficult moments, celebrate their progress and allow them to enjoy their football. They need parents who support their child, their teammates and their coaches.

The players already have coaches who work with them every week, consistently planning, teaching, observing and supporting their development. What they need from home is not another voice giving tactical instructions, but a positive environment where they feel supported and encouraged to learn.

Let the coaches coach.
Let the players play.
And let the parents be the support system every young player needs.

When coaches, players and parents work together with the same objective — the development and wellbeing of the player — we create the best possible environment for young footballers to grow.

We wish all our players, families, coaches and everyone involved in the Academy a fantastic start to the new season.

And especially to our players: enjoy the journey, work hard, support your teammates, respect your coaches, take care of your education and, above all, enjoy playing football.

Here’s to a new season, new challenges, new friendships and new beginnings.

Welcome to the 2026/27 season and Fino alla Fine Forza Juventus!
