Bedfordshire FA - developing football for everyone
Development - take your skills to the next level

Bedfordshire FA Player Development Centre 2011/12

After a re-structuring of the girls talent pathway in England, The Bedfordshire FA are proud to be granted a license to host a Player Development Centre.

The centre will select squads under the age groups U9, U11, U13 and U15.

The centre will allow talented grass roots players to improve their skills further through quality coaching run by The Beds FA. Each player will benefit from 16 weeks of coaching mixed with competitive fixtures representing their area against other regional centres. The opportunity will not conflict with any players club football but will provide an advanced addition to their development including nutrition advice and access to physiotherapy.

The centres form part of the new pathways into regional Centre of Excellences. Our centre will aim to feed into the Centre of Excellences at MK Dons, Cambridge, Colchester and Arsenal. Please see in related documents the leaflet which explains the pathway. More information can also be found at www.thefa.com

The trials for next season will take place in September. If you wish to nominate a player for trial then please contact Development Centre Manager Julia Ladbrooke on 01582 565111 or E-mail julia.ladbrooke@bedfordshirefa.com
