Centre of Excellence Assessments
SAFC Female Centre of Excellence Trials
SAFC Female Centre of Excellence gives talented female footballers the opportunity to receive quality coaching and to play against top class opposition on a regular basis.
Our centre forms a major part of the FA’s female player pathway and we fully adhere to the long term player development philosophy (LTPD). Girls are given the opportunity to develop within a structured environment under the guidance of high quality FA qualified coaches who use the latest coaching methods. FA scouts regularly monitor the girls’ progress with a view to exceptional players going on to represent National squads.
During the season of 2008/2009, the centre will consist of 4 squads, Under 10, Under 12, Under 14 and Under 16. The squads will train twice a week and will take part in a fixture programme with games taking place on a Saturday. Opposition will include FA Centres within the North East & North West area including Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Blackburn, Leeds amongst others.
