The Academy

In 2015 it was announced that all of the youth teams would once again be returning to Lechia, with Lechia taking control of coaching and player development.[2] It was announced that there would be 11 age groups which would make up the Academy starting from the Under-7's to the Under-23's. After 3 years, the Lechia Academy had 12 teams under their control, with other 200 staff seeing over the development.[3] From the summer of 2019 the academy will be home to multiple levels of girls football teams with the formal incorporation of the Lechia Gdańsk Ladies into the Lechia Gdańsk structure.[4]

Partnerships

Lechia have partnerships with academies in the Gdańsk and surrounding regions. The agreements provide Lechia with the best players, the teams to take part in competitions organised by Lechia, and better training for the coaches. Currently Lechia have partnerships with the Rotmanka Football School,[9] APK Jedynka Kartuzy,[10] and GAP Sparta Gdańsk.[11]

Lechia II

The Lechia Under-23's are also known as Lechia II, due to the team playing in the Polish leagues. As of the 2019-20 season, Lechia II are playing in the "IV liga Pomerania" league, the fifth tier of Polish football. Due to the rules of 2nd teams, only 3 players in the match day squad can be over the age of 23.

The Lechia II team was first introduced for the 1953–54 Polish Cup, with the second team's first official game being on 15 November 1953 against ŁKS Łódź. The team took part in three further Cup competitions after 1953 until the 2005-06 season when the second team became a permanent squad within the club. In 2016 it was announced that Lechia would be discontinuing the second team.[12] Lechia reversed this decision two seasons later and introduced the reserve team again for the start of the 2018-19 season.[13]
