The Panorama pathway

From first touch to senior football

Foundation Football

U6 – U12

Foundation Football

First touch, first team, first love of the game.

Foundation is where a Panorama player is made. Sessions are built around the ball, the game and the group: short activities, high repetition, plenty of touches and matche

  • Ball mastery and confident first touch under light pressure
  • Running with the ball and one-versus-one courage
  • Basic passing, receiving and scanning habits
Youth Development

U13 – U19

Youth Development

Where habits become a game model.

Through the teenage years the club's job changes. Players arrive with a first touch and leave with a way of playing. Youth Development introduces positional specialism wi

  • Position-specific technical detail
  • Decision-making at speed and under real pressure
  • Tactical understanding: pressing, building out, transition, game management
GDL / Elite Pathway

Selected age groups

GDL / Elite Pathway

The sharp end of the pathway.

The GDL and elite pathway is for players whose development is best served by a higher standard of weekly competition and a heavier training load. Selection is a football

  • Higher competitive standard week to week
  • Positional mastery and tactical flexibility across systems
  • Physical conditioning with monitored load
Senior Football

Open age

Senior Football

  • Competitive performance in open-age league football
  • Integration of graduating youth players into a senior environment
  • Leadership and standards-setting across the club
Ladies & Girls Football

Girls' age groups and open-age Ladies

Ladies & Girls Football

An equal pathway, not a parallel one.

Panorama has taken girls into football since the club's early years, and the Ladies programme is run to the same standard, with the same curriculum, the same assessment c

  • Continuous girls' provision from Foundation age upward
  • Technical and tactical curriculum identical in standard to the boys' pathway
  • Retention through the teenage years, where girls' football most often loses players
Panorama Academy

Cross-programme development layer

Panorama Academy

The method behind every session.

The Academy is not a separate team. It is the club's development engine: the curriculum every coach works from, the assessment framework every player is measured against,

  • Age-phase curriculum from Foundation to Senior
  • Technical, tactical, physical and social assessment domains
  • Individual development plans with objectives and review cycles

Panorama 40 · 1986 — 2026

Forty years built the legacy. Now we build the future.

Four decades of Panorama football, marked at the club: legends fixtures across the age groups, the heritage exhibition, an alumni reunion, and the launch of Panorama ONE — one platform holding the club's people, participation, development and history.
