All players who have joined both the invitation only tiers of the Player Development Pathway have undergone a successful trial with the Football Development Programme. Trials are by invitation only. Under the rules and regulations governing all Academy activities we cannot invite players in for trials unless they:
Live within 1 hour travelling time from home to the chosen trial venue (trialist: under 7 to under 11 age groups).
Live within 1.5 hour travelling time from home to the chosen trial venue (trialist: under 12 to under 16 age groups).

From this, Brad will provide a date for the trial to take place. Players who are successful will then be invited to join the appropriate tier along our player pathway journey.
