What You Will Study
The courses available alongside the Football Development Programme are all Sport courses – However some courses may have slightly limited access to training. You will study modules such as Coaching & Leadership, Anatomy, Biomechanics, Nutrition, Psychology, Massage, Performance Analysis plus much more. You will also receive a football education designed by our UEFA and pro club coaches on developing skills, squad practices, different formations, how to break teams down and how to win.
- Entry Requirements
The Football Development Programme is open to students aged 16-19 (male and female). Selection is through football trials during the spring and summer period. FDP players should be currently playing to a high standard relative to their age (former academy/top grassroots). You must of course meet the entry criteria for your full-time course as well.
