About the Programme
The Elite Pre-Season Training Programme is tailored for committed and ambitious players looking to gain a professional edge ahead of the new season. With a focus on technical excellence, physical performance, and tactical intelligence, each session is delivered by expert coaches from the West Ham United Foundation, reflecting the standards and philosophy of the club’s Academy environment.

SMART Timer Testing – Track Your Progress
On the first and final session, players will undergo athletic testing using the Smart Timer System, recording key performance metrics such as:
