With two promotion places up for grabs and two relegation spaces, the Premier Division consists of eleven other sides meaning a total of 22 league games to fit in along side the cup games.
Although the League is made up as follows: Premier Elite, Premier, Division One, Division Two and Division Three, only the Premier Elite and Premier compete in the League Cup while the other three divisions battle it out in the Invitation Cup.
Speaking to the Stray Shots, Woolley said: "We've got an exciting, but tough season ahead of us as we have been placed in the Surrey Youth League Premier Division.
"The division used to be split into a north a south divide but they have joined together so we will be playing the likes of AFC Wimbledon Colts, Bedfont Green Royals, Corinthian Casuals, Elm Grove Colts, Epsom Eagle Colts, Fulham Wanderers, Kew Park Rangers, Manorcroft United, Rock Lane United, Spellthorne Sports and Whitton Wanderers.
"I'm pleased with being placed in this league, and even though there will be a lot of unknown teams to us, everybody will be taking to 11-a-side for the first time so I'm certain it will be a tough, exciting campaign.
"It will be the perfect place to start 11-a-side football.
"I'm aware of some of the teams from mini-soccer and there are some quality teams with excellent set ups. I'm sure the standard of football this season will be high.
"We will also be entering the League cups and the Hampshire Cup so there will be a great, but tough, mixture of games and I'm really looking forwards to it."

In other news, The Shots U11's are now looking for another pre-season friendly for the weekend of 1st-2nd August and details will be posted as soon as the opposition and venue has been arranged.
Speaking to the Stray Shots, age group co-ordinator Russ Woolley said: "I'm hoping to get a pitch at a venue that has bar facilities so as the parents can enjoy a bit of a social gathering ahead of the season getting underway.
"We've been told that the pitches at Bourley Road will not now be ready until the start of the season as they are undergoing refurbishment as the toilets and kitchen facitlities are being upgraded. This means that we will now have to play our friendlies eleswhere - and Wavell is looking the most likely venue."
