September-December 2019
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, as well as an exit route for those children not ready for the
elite set up. 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.
All sessions are delivered by
FA/UEFA qualified coaches, that are first aid and DBS checked. Children MUST
attend wearing shin pads, correct footwear (Email coach if unsure) and a soft
drink. Players should register with the ‘Lead Coach’ on the evening as they
arrive and will also need to be collected at the end of every session. No child
will be allowed to leave until the designated parent/guardian has been seen.
All 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.
