develop good habits in young players
establish a challenging and structured technical programme based on " FA Future Game "
promote fair play and sportsmanship
The programme runs for 20 weeks, built around intensive structured sessions . All core skills are developed through the technical programmes with qualified coaches. The players progress through the Centre to play representative football for Jersey at the various age groups levels.
The Capita Fiduciary Group in Jersey has provided financial support to the Centre for the past 8 years. The Jersey FA's association with Capita has enabled the Centre to develop in that period of time. The players have had the chance to play outside of Jersey, broadening their football and learning experiences . The Centre has also been able to expand the opportunities and programmes to a wider age group of players.Categories: Football, Information Notice.
