An independent U16 showcase side pulling the best grassroots talent in London into one squad — training weekly, testing themselves against strong opposition most Sundays, and getting seen.
Performers XI exists for one reason: grassroots players don't always get the stage their ability deserves. We bring together 18 of London's most promising U16 footballers — scouted from clubs across the capital — into a single showcase team.
No long-term contracts, no politics. Just a professional environment, real opposition, and a shirt worth performing in. Every session and every matchday is built to put players in front of the people who can move their career forward.
An eight-week cycle from first whistle to final showcase, run like a professional pre-season — because that's exactly how it should feel.
Brand, kit, and channels go live. Final squad of 18 confirmed, trial sessions wrapped, first training booked.
Squad meets for the first time. Roles, shape, and standards set from day one.
Weekly training sessions paired with fixtures most Sundays against strong opposition across London and the South East.
Closing fixture and season review — highlight reel, individual reports, and next steps for every player.
Fixtures are chosen to stretch the squad — strong academy and showcase sides, not routine friendlies.
Proper kit, structured sessions, matchday routines. Players are treated like they're already being watched — because they are.
Every matchday is filmed and shared. Scouts, coaches, and clubs can watch the squad perform without needing an invite.
Trials are rolling through Week 1. Register your interest and we'll be in touch with session details.
