ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
Our Football Development Programme (FDP) provides players with an enjoyable, well coached and professional training environment to develop their football skills. The programme is team-based, so all players involved get the consistency of working with the same teammates and coaches throughout the year.
Players allocated to an FDP team for the winter season train twice per week, with sessions led by their volunteer coach. The session design and delivery is overseen by our Director of Junior Football, and supported by our Junior Club Coaches.
The FDP is available to players in Mixed grades U9, 10, 11, 12 & 13, and in Girls grades U11 & U13.
