Advancement Phase
The U14s are an ambitious, hardworking group who are maturing into confident players. This squad balances competitive football with continued development, preparing players for the higher demands of the academy pathway. The U14s play with energy, discipline, and a growing sense of tactical understanding.
Coaching & Support
Managed by Gareth, players benefit from structured coaching that builds both technical and tactical development. Coaches encourage players to take responsibility for their performance, while maintaining the supportive culture that defines Hartland Girls Academy.
Training & Matches

Player Development
The U14s are guided to think more deeply about the game: how to press as a unit, how to build attacks, and how to manage different match scenarios. This is also a key stage for building leadership, resilience, and responsibility both on and off the pitch.
