professional development programme

Our Football Scholarship Programme is ideal for anyone looking to make the step from the grassroots to the semi-professional or professional game.

We give the players opportunities to train with UEFA A and B licenced coaches and former professional players on a daily basis, as well as completing a 2-year, A-Levels or BTEC Sports qualifications.

TRAINING

is delivered by a coaching team with over 70 years combined experience of the professional game. All coaches hold UEFA A and B licences as well as all the relevant FA coaching badges.

Sessions are focused on delivering technical and tactical training along with position-specific sessions to develop the individual player.

Our programme replicates the life of a full-time scholar at a professional club.

EDUCATION

is delivered at Parkside School, Cullingworth, Bradford.

We offer a diverse range of A-Levels in subjects such as maths, business, history, and psychology.

Also available are BTEC Level 3 and Level 2 courses in sport and an option of GCSE resits if required.

SHOWCASE GAMES

are a fundamental part of our programme and we deliver games against professional clubs such as Hull City, Salford City and Manchester City. In some of these games, the professional clubs are looking to recruit players.

We also compete in the National Schools Football League representing our partner Parkside School.

COACHING

will be delivered by experienced UEFA A and B licenced coaches who have worked with professional clubs such as Leeds United, Bradford City, Burnley and Sheffield United.

Head Coach: Rob Day
Assistant Head Coach: Phil Wilson

We also have guest coaches delivering sessions from various roles in the professional game.

TECHNOLOGY

is at the forefront of our programme and seen as an essential tool that allows us to gain a competitive advantage over our competitors.

We currently use the playerdata GPS System to monitor the players physical load which includes top speeds, distance covered and power. This is an enabler to manage injury prevention.

Our Analysts use VEO Sports Cameras and are used in both training sessions and games to highlight areas to develop and areas of success.
