PARTICIPATION AND COMPETITIVE
FOOTBALL PROVISION

at REPTON SCHOOL

 

Participation and Competitive Football is for all pupils and is the foundation of the football programme at Repton School.

We believe in inclusivity and offering all who wish to play, the chance to compete for either the School and/or their Boarding House.

There are twelve Boys Football teams (1st XI – 4th XI, U16A-B, U15A-C and U14A-C) and two Girls Football teams (1st XI and U15A). Following the arrival of Technical Director of Football Luke Webb in September 2023, ‘Ruxing’ sessions were introduced to the private school Football programme for any pupil who isn’t in a team but would like a full term of football practice and gameplay.

The School's participation teams train two to three times per week with a game once a week. The A and B teams all compete in their own National Cup Competition each year. Every team competes for one term of the school year (Boys in the Michaelmas Term and Girls in the Lent Term). This allows for a multisport annual schedule for those pupils who will then participate in the other main sport of the term outside their respective football term.

FOOTBALL FOR ALL

Our House match provision is also a thriving part of our participation pathway, with Junior and Senior Leagues, House Sixes, House Futsal and an overall House Football competition that takes into account many factors such as House competitions, practice progression of individuals, Courage and Excellence awards and team of the week nominations.

GOALKEEPERS

Goalkeepers are not forgotten about at Repton. We appreciate the unique nature and specialism of the position and on one of the training days we have a professional Goalkeeping coach come in to deliver to our Goalkeepers on the performance programme.


This provision of football is the beating heart of Repton football, and we aim to ensure that every pupil who participates in football at Repton has an experience that is fulfilling, by matching up their standards and motivations in the sport.

For this, we focus on pitch quality and Coach quality. Repton's award-winning grounds team continue to invest heavily in our pitches to ensure each surface is equal in quality. Our Technical Director of Football, Luke Webb, delivers annual Coach CPD to all members of staff who oversee a Football team. This is to ensure all pupils from the 1st XI to the U14C teams have access to Luke’s innovative and unique football syllabus. This provision also extends to the pupils and staff at Repton Prep School.

The varying provisions we offer are a fluid part of our programme and ensures each pupil is fulfilled from their experience in football. Pupils can move between provisions based on their standards and motivations at any time.
