 Men's Football Scholarship & University Degree Programme
 

Football Scholarship

The Football Scholarship component of the overall programme enables individuals to train and play in matches for up to 12 hours per week. Everyone has their own Individual Development Plan that tracks and monitors their development during their time on the programme.

 

We train the players as a squad, but also as individuals in order to improve on their strengths and turn their weaknesses into strengths.

 

We use the same technology that the Premier League and WSL clubs use for Player Analysis such as the Playertek GPS Tracking System, Suunto Heart Rate Monitoring and SMARTSPEED Timing Gates.
