One in a Million
in partnership with
West Riding County FA
Girls’ Player Development Centre
What is a Player Development Centre?
A Player Development Centre (PDC) is a local County FA run
centre for U11, U13 & U15 age groups. Players gain access
to the PDC through a trial process. Having played school
and club football, the PDC is the next step of The FA girls’
talent pathway. Players can be nominated for trials by
their teacher or grassroots coach when it is appropriate for
the player’s development.
What can I expect to receive at a Player Development
Centre?
The PDC will provide extra training and support on top of
your grassroots club. Every player will continue to play for
their local grassroots club, and receive one extra night of
training and support from appropriately qualified coaches.
You will also be invited to play in friendly fixtures against
other PDCs which will allow you to show your true
potential in a match situation. The PDC will provide you
with extra support and bridge the gap between grassroots
football and Centre of Excellence football.
Where will the Player Development Centre be located?
There are 30 PDCs spread across the country. The PDC in
this area will be held in Bradford at Buttershaw Business &
Enterprise College. The PDC will run for 20 weeks with
trials starting in September 2012.
When can you trial?
Players can trial with the PDC at any time during
the season.
Open trials will be held on Thursday 13th
September and Thursday 20th September 2012.
Where is the Player Development Centre?
All sessions are held on grass and a 3G synthetic
surface at:
Buttershaw Business & Enterprise College
Reevy Road West, Bradford, BD6 3PX
We will train on Thursday evenings 6-7pm.
Players should bring appropriate footwear, shin
guards, and also fluids.
