Tembisa Junior's

U/13

The U/13 division is where the journey begins. At this stage, the focus is on pure technical ability and fearless expression.

U/15

The U/15 division represents the most critical shift in a young player’s life. Often called the "Growth Phase," this is where players begin to pair their raw skill with tactical intelligence and physical endurance.

U/17

The U/17 category is the final stage before a player enters the Senior ranks or the professional scouting radar. These are "Young Lions" who possess adult-level speed and tactical awareness.

From Juniors to Giants:

The Amandla Blueprint

Amandla made history by becoming the first-ever team to graduate
from the Phillys Games junior ranks to win the Senior Title. For years, the Senior tournament was dominated by "invitation teams" or squads assembled specifically for the festive season. Amandla changed the narrative. They proved that loyalty, chemistry, and long-term development can defeat even the most star-studded senior squads.

Team Manager
Kevin Wels

People see the professional career and the trophies, but the character, the grit, and the technical fearlessness were all forged right here. The Phillys Games isn't just a tournament; it’s where you learn what it means to be a footballer under pressure. It made me the player and the man I am today.

Player
Benson Mhlongo

The Phillys Games pushed me to grow both personally and professionally. Winning the U/17 title against 32 elite teams was a highlight of my career. Thank you for creating a stage for the next generation to shine!
