The Peterborough United Foundation announced on 2 March 2026 that it will run Future Stars Football Camps for young players in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, during the upcoming Easter break. These sessions are designed specifically for children who already play for local clubs and want to improve their skills under professional guidance.

The camps will run throughout the school holidays, which Peterborough City Council has set for Monday 30 March to Friday 10 April 2026. Unlike general holiday clubs, this programme focuses on helping talented players get noticed for the club’s advanced Elite Player Programme (EPP) and Academy pathways.

Qualified coaches with FA and UEFA certificates will lead the training to ensure every child receives expert advice. Organisers have advised parents to book places quickly because these specialised sessions have less space than regular community activities.

This new project follows a successful period for the foundation, which established its Youth Employment Hub at the stadium in late 2024. That initiative received national recognition on BBC News in late February 2026 for its work in supporting young people in the local community.
