Football Trials Introduction

Our Football Academy is being developed in order to invest in upcoming footballing talent and provide the network, coaching, health and lifestyle advice that each player needs to make a successful career in football. If you are looking for a career in football, and live in the our local catchment, then your best chance will be to join our fantastic Academy. The academy coaching team will be UEFA licence and members of the Football Association’s Licence Coaches Club.

About this Football Club Academy

The Academy will offer an advanced football development and education program supported by expert and dedicated staff. The Academy will use advanced technology and coaching methods to develop their players. We are actively looking for upcoming talent to join the academy, and will or can be selective about trialists.

As part of our Academy philosophy we recognise our duty of care to support the community within projects and selected programmes. It is important that we can enable the academy to be within the heartbeat of the soccer community and share experiences with groups that the centre can support. Through our local relationships we will regularly observe players, games and school soccer and view this as a key aspect of identifying players for the Academy whilst transferring our knowledge and ability to the local community.

As an Academy that will embrace a multidisciplinary approach we will take real pride in providing detailed individual support around the key roles in strength and conditioning. As part of our coaching programme players will receive regular guidance with components that support the overall physical demands for the developing player. This is seen through players in the maturation phase, specialised support, pre and post-performance. Our approach to the players understanding of dietary requirements, hydration, pre-hab and recovery is at the very heart of developing the person. These core values are key in the person understanding the demands of performance whilst progressing as a person.

How to get a Football Trial at this Football Club & Academy

Opportunities for open trials for players in all age groups do become available at various times, please remember can be based on player ability. Once the trials have been completed, you will have to be selected to have a trial at the Academy, so it is important that players are spotted in the right places at the right times.

For some players, they prefer a direct approach sending in links to videos of themselves playing football, but it is worth bearing in mind that clubs receive thousands of these videos each week and simply don’t have time to watch them all and go about their daily business, so the most effective way of getting scouted for a trial at Academy is to join a local football club or School, playing football already is highly advised if you wish to progress to a higher level.

Our scouts will regularly select young players from football schools, clubs and sessions and invite them to trial at the development centres for our Academy or teams, and anyone can play in their football schools so it offers an open door for all to get spotted. It is also particularly good planning to take your child to football schools as soon as they are old enough, so it enables them to develop their talents in line with the same level as their peers.

16+ and Adult playing opportunities for selected players to progress through the playing ranks, under the watchful eye of the Football Academy Scouts and Club Team Management.

Syllabus at Our Football Academy

The training program at this Academy will be broken into technical and tactical training, with a special module for Goalkeepers. The below demonstrates:

Exploring the Future of Football at our Academy

Bio-Banding is an innovative way of grouping young football players according to their physical maturity rather than their age has been demonstrated to show big benefits when it comes to spotting hidden talent and reducing injuries.

Bio-banding is a strategy which has existed for a number of years but has only recently been trialled by clubs in the UK – groups players according to their maturity level. This means youth teams are mixed when it comes to ages, but roughly equal when it comes to how physically developed players are. It is designed to avoid the David and Goliath situation whereby a late developing child is pitched against an early developed child, who has an advantage in size and strength.

Advocates suggest bio-banding should not completely replace traditional practices which group players by age. But they suggest bio-banding can be an additional coaching tool used to better identify and retain talented yet late maturing athletes and can expose early and late developers to new challenges and learning opportunities.

The Football Academy at this Football Club is considered paramount to the club’s success and integral part of our football philosophy. Youth development is represented at board level through to our Academy Football Director.

Our Football Mission

We have adopted a strategy to develop and coach the whole person to be world class. This approach is adopted throughout the club, youth to senior first team, staff to player. This is with the aim to develop not just the footballer/athlete but a rounded positive person in the community.

Our Football Academy will never consider itself finished or fully developed but consider its purpose to continually strive to set the standard of player support, and development (football, education and personal).

Football Vision

The academy vision is to produce players for the first team, year on year, with the technical ability on the field to compete at the highest level domestically, and internationally.

The club will always hold the community close to its heart and therefore the off the field behaviour will set an exemplary standard in the community and nationwide.

The club will play a type of football that is considered ‘attractive’ and technical based whilst demonstrating the club’s 7 Pillars.

The academy will not be orientated on results but players will be expected to demonstrate the competitive behaviours and positive/growth mentality it takes to deal with the demands of professional football and life.

NB: The Club understands that although the desired goal is to create world-class footballers, this goal may not be achieved by all in the system – fulfilling potential is the goal.

7 Pillars of the Academy and Football Trial Opportunities

Competitive environment for Football Trials

The academy specialises in the individual, this is evident very early in the session. The arrival activity is individualised and the tempo, expectations, feedback and interaction within the session allow the player to perform to a high standard and really take pride in their own performance.

Individual player focused delivery

The ethos of this Football Academy is the individual is at the centre of the delivery and journey. This bespoke service really enables players to understand where they currently are within their game, what the focus of delivery is in relation to their game and how they can achieve the required expectation. All generated from development and evident in overall performance.

Technically driven excellence in Football

The structure of the syllabus is really focused on the technical demands of the modern game. As a result the delivery and sessions generated connect the individual to the game, with great emphasis to become technically outstanding footballers.

Outstanding Football Player basics

As the academy fulfils a multi-disciplined approach there is real emphasis on general outstanding fundamentals. This maybe movement patterns related to the game, cognitive understanding and thought processes, emotional intelligence to fulfil the demands of elite performance and personality of the player.

Coach football ability to support player development

The academy delivers a relevant and professional service to support the player. This requires players to want to be part of that journey. Do they want to engage in development? Can they retain information? Are they proactive with their own performance? Can they be resilient and understand disappointment whilst striving for achievement?

Reflection driven and Football Analysis

The systematic approach enables regular dialogue and feedback generated. Players receive honest feedback that can support short and long term goals. Evidence of performance is needed to be part of the players understanding and to strive to develop.

Personal Football Player expectations

Part of the academy is to develop people. Can the player gain greater life skills, performance tools to enhance preparation and post recovery? We want our players to strive to improve all forms of their personality and value the great opportunity they have within the academy and as young people that are at the very early staged of their careers.

Our Academy offers an advanced football development and education programme supported by expert and dedicated staff. The Academy uses advanced technology and coaching methods to develop their female players. We are actively looking for upcoming talent to join the Academy. Players under 16 predominantly must live within 1hr (young players) to 1hr, 30 minutes distance from training venue.

BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION FC FOOTBALL TRIAL

Here is the full selection of Football Trial dates being offered by this Club. Abilities, Ages, Levels.

BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION FC TRIAL DATES

Albion's Academy is inviting applications for open trials.

Talented young footballers are being asked to attend an open trial which could see them embark on a journey which ends with the

Brighton & Hove Albion FC first team.

Albion in the Community (AITC) is the Seagulls’ official charity but it also runs an array of high quality coaching centres across Sussex, aimed at improving the standard of football throughout the county.

And part of its work is identifying and nurturing local talent at specialist sessions which sit directly under the Albion’s own academy.

The Seagulls run an academy programme for young players aged between 9 and 16 and have seen a number of prospects progress to the first team, including Lewis Dunk and Jake Forster-Caskey.

AITC runs a feeder programme into the club’s official academy, the highest of which is the Elite Centre.

There, players benefit from weekly expert coaching in line with the academy’s philosophy at the Albion’s state-of-the-art training complex in Lancing. They also play matches against sides from similar programmes at rival professional clubs during the school holidays, which last year included the likes of Premier League clubs Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City.

It is the highest standard of football outside the club’s

academy structure and has an impressive track record.

In the 2014/15 season 28 players from the programme

received trials at professional clubs.

As well as the Elite Centre, AITC also runs invitation

centres for other young footballers. These invite-only

sessions are designed to provide a pathway for local

players from park football to academy level.

Brighton & Hove Albion's Academy is inviting

applications for open trials for this season's

under-12 and under-14 boys' teams at the

American Express Elite Football Performance Centre.

You must be in either of the under-12 or under-14

year groups and register your interest to take part

in the trials, which will run from 1pm until 4pm on the

two respective dates.

At the end of each season players from the Invitation and

Elite Centre are also given the chance to participate

in a European tour to experience playing competitive

football against different styles and cultures. This

season the teams came home with an impressive

six trophies, with the U16s still to attend the Denmark

Cup in Copenhagen.

There are also development centre sessions held

by AITC across Sussex providing expert coaching

to hundreds of young people.

The AITC system is very fluid. Players can move

between the different centres, meaning none of the

youngsters disappear from the radar. They certainly aren’t just forgotten.

As Dave Green, the charity’s football development

manager, says, it isn’t just about unearthing the next superstar.

He explained: “We offer a unique opportunity within

the professional game for local youth players to

develop new technical and tactical skills and

knowledge while continuing to play for their local grassroots club.

“We don’t want to take people away from their club –

far from it. The number of young players who make

it from a professional academy is small but we

want to help local young players make the best of

their ability. That might be creating a pathway to the

club’s official academy, or it might be helping them

develop so they can play at Ryman League level

rather than Sussex County League when they are older.”

With the new season approaching, AITC is now looking

to identify players for its Elite Centre and Invitation

Centres and is inviting talented youngsters to a free

trial day at the American Express Elite Football

Performance Centre in Lancing.

The trials are open to players currently in the

under-8s to under-13s age groups.

place, call 01273 878277 or e-mail: [email protected]
