The Albion Foundation will be hosting trials for its Player Development Academy when it safe to do so. The dates are to be confirmed and children must be going into school years 3-6 in September 2020 or Under 8, 9, 10 or 11 for their football team next season. This trial is for boys only as our girls development programme is run separately. The Player Development Academy runs in line with the school term on weekday evenings across Sandwell, Walsall, Worcester and Bromsgrove. If you would be interested in a trial please complete the booking form below.
The Albion Foundation aims to provide high quality and structured coaching sessions, whilst maintaining a positive learning environment. Our player pathway caters for children of all abilities through our Player Development Centres or our Player Development Academies within the Black Country, Walsall, Dudley or Worcestershire. The key aim of our sessions are to develop players’ core technical ability as well as their tactical understanding. All sessions delivered are working towards the West Bromwich Albion FC Curriculum.
Player Development Centres provide players with a potential entry into elite and professional football environments. The Player Development Academy has a key link with the West Bromwich Albion FC Academy, helping to identify those that are talented and supporting their progress through the club’s player pathway.
Player Development Academy participants will take part in fixtures against other community programme teams during half term and term holidays. Lead coaches will confirm any further details.
All sessions are delivered by FA/UEFA qualified coaches, that are first aid and DBS checked.
