Football Development Schools & WBA
‘Football Development Schools plays a significant role in the
recruitment of players in the East Midlands where their
coaching centres operate for West Bromwich Albion FC Academy.
I have worked very closely with the staff at FDS for
over 6 years now and the quality of their teaching, their
players and their coaches is as good as many academies
and certainly better than many Centre’s of Excellence.
The ethos of their organisation is exactly in tune with
ours and the focus on managing the ball from defence into
midfield and through to the attacking areas means that
FDS players are tactically, technically and mentally
prepared for academy football. I am very proud of the
close working relationship that FDS and WBA have
and it has proven to be successful with young players
signed on schoolboy forms for our academy.
Football Development
The Football Development Schools programme provides
a stepping stone from junior football to academy football
and gives a holistic education to players and most
importantly is an enjoyable experience that stimulates
player’s potential. I am confident that in the future
months and years FDS will continue to play a pivotal
role for West Bromwich Albion FC in the identification
and recruitment of young players in the areas they work.’
For a 3 week trial please contact
