More Than a Tournament — A Life-Changing Journey
This summer, we’re bringing something different to the pitch.
From 1st June to 17th July, Ludus Academy is launching an exclusive 6-week football and mentoring programme for PRU students across London and Essex - leading up to the Ludus PRU Cup, a high-energy tournament designed to celebrate growth, discipline, and second chances
What the Programme Delivers Each Week
The 6-Week Mentoring Program
Football-Focused. Growth-Driven. Built for Change.
Each PRU unit will receive:
1x Football Coaching Session per week (delivered by elite-level coaches & ex-pros)
1x Mentoring Workshop per week (based on core personal development themes)
Our workshops are built around key areas like:
Discipline & Consistency
Resilience & Self-Belief
Goal Setting & Leadership
Emotional Control & Confidence
Students will reflect, learn, and apply these lessons — not just in sport, but in life.
The PRU Cup: 13–17 July 2026
16 Schools. One Champion. Every Student Wins.
Hosted at a professional-standard venue, the Ludus PRU Cup will bring together 16 PRU teams for a full-day football tournament with structure, competition and community at its heart.
Expect:
⚽ 7-a-side games
🎖 Trophies & awards
👥 Scouts & mentors in attendance
🎤 Guest speakers & music
Why It Matters
Too often, PRU students are overlooked. But we see the potential.
Ludus Academy was founded by ex-Chelsea player Kevin Wright and Ivorian international Jérémie Boga, who both know the power of football to transform lives.
This initiative gives students the structure, belief and platform they need — and schools an OFSTED-aligned enrichment experience that builds resilience through sport.
Places are limited.
If your PRU or school wants to take part in this unique programme, register interest now and be part of something special.
Train hard. Think big. Play with purpose.
