Palace for Life coaches lead sessions at Junior Member Training Day 2025
Our coaches joined Palace players and young fans for this year’s Junior Member’s Training Day at the Crystal Palace Academy.
The opportunity to play at Crystal Palace’s state-of-the-art Academy training facilities would be, in itself, a dream come true for many a budding young footballer.
But throw in the chance to meet Jean-Philippe Mateta, Aimee Everett, Tyrick Mitchell and Nathaniel Clyne – not forgetting Pete and Alice the Eagles – and score some signed shirts, and you’ve got a smash-hit Junior Member Training Day 2025 on your hands!
The budding Eagles stars took part in a variety of sessions led by our coaches, picking up new skills, playing mini games and participating in a plethora of fun drills, before meeting their heroes.

Taking place over October half-term, the recent Junior Members Training Day was a certified smash-hit, as scores of Junior Members, Junior Gold Members, Junior ST Members and Junior Season Ticket+ Members, between the ages of 5-15 years-old, got to live out a day in the life of a professional footballer.

If your child missed out on the chance, don’t worry, we’re running a day two Soccer School camp at the Academy on the 22nd and 23rd December for boys and girls aged 5-14 and those sessions are available to book now.
