Midland Junior Premier League
The Albion Foundation will have teams competing within the Midland Junior Premier League (MJPL) for the 2026/27 season, and we are searching for footballing youngsters to join our sides.
At The Albion Foundation, we continue to develop our MJPL programme for the 2026/27 season by recruiting players that are committed to striving to be better.
Next season we will have teams competing in the local league at Under 12-16’s with clear opportunities to progress on and off the pitch.
We would like to invite players to trial, that believe they are talented and gifted to push their potential with us. Our programme focuses heavily on the individual, as well as playing and training within their own age groups.
Successful trialists for the programme will receive coaching from all FA and UEFA qualified coaches in a positive environment to support the players throughout their learning journey.
Trials to be held at Sandwell Academ, Halfords Lane, B71 4LG
