The Yellow Training Jersey
Every accepted player trains in the SFA Yellow Training Jersey for all four days — one consistent kit keeps the group sharp and holds the clinic’s professional standard. Once your spot is confirmed, order from the SFA team store or pick one up in person.
โก Four days is demanding — a fresh jersey each day keeps your player comfortable. Many families order a few.

What to Expect
“My son attended SFA’s Pro camp and ended up being selected to train in England with Southampton FC Academy coaches โ one of the proudest moments of our family’s year. Camp. England. A totally transformed player. When he came home, I barely recognized his game โ sharper, smarter, and playing at a level I didn’t think he’d reach for years. But what really stunned us was who he was when he came back. Not just a better player, but a more confident, driven young man. SFA changed his game and his mindset.”
