Two programmes. One standard of work.

Full-time programme for players being prepared for trials abroad. Double sessions, position-specific work, strength and conditioning, match analysis and a maintained scouting profile.

Players train on the same curriculum used for the Elite pathway, so a nominated player never has to relearn the system. Progress is written up every fortnight and shared with the guardian on record.

Fully funded places for players the coaching staff nominate. Covers training, kit, travel to tournaments and the cost of a European trial when one is secured.

Nominations are made internally at the end of each term. There is no application; every registered player is considered.
