The 30 centres in the country are part of the FA’s re-structured talent development programme. The Northumberland FA PDC offers young talented players access high quality football training on weekly basis. The player can still play football for her local club and be part of the PDC.
How to get Involved?
Players gain access to the PDC through a trial process.
Players can be nominated for a trial by their teacher or their grassroots coach when it is appropriate for the player’s development.
Players can trial with the PDC at any time during the season.
What can I expect to receive at a PDC?
The PDC 20 week programme is committed to providing successful candidates with weekend training session held on a Sunday. This is extra to the players’ local grassroots club or school team commitments.
Players will also be invited to play friendly fixtures against other PDCs, which will allow them the opportunity to play against other PDCs.
