Chelsea Academy Trials Day

Footballers offered the chance to show their skills at Chelsea’s training ground

The Thomas Bennett Community College Football Academy are offering the chance for perspective players in Year 11 the chance to trial for the school’s Academy September intake at Chelsea FC’s Cobham training ground on Saturday February 11 at 1pm.

The Academy programme based in Crawley is a full-time course for sixth form students incorporating both full-time football training with post-16 studies within a school environment. Working in association with Chelsea FC Foundation, students have the best of both worlds by having professional standard football provision and facilities, whilst still being able to continue their education.

A recent OFSTED inspection of Thomas Bennett Community College commented “The Football Academy is a marked strength of the sixth form, attracting learners from other schools. Challenging activities are set to which learners respond well and make good progress.”

“Our programme has been designed to fulfil student’s potential in both their football and studies” said Academy Director, Chris Jones. “Our genuine strengths are having staff who are both UEFA qualified coaches as well as teachers. This allows us to create an environment where all players can develop on and off the pitch with consistent support from myself and our staff.”

“Our education programmes stretch those more academic students and support those who prefer who have a preference to ‘hands on’ education.” Chris went on to explain. “Students can to study up to 3 A’ levels or work on our Vocational and Coach Education programme with GCSE resits if required”

On the pitch students will take part in a full time training programme which will cover technical, tactical and physical elements of football to an elite level, helping players to develop both their ability and understanding of the game. Teams will compete in U19’s leagues across 3 squads to ensure all players have a full opportunity to play on a regular basis.

Nick Brown, Chelsea FC Foundation’s Development Officer for Sussex and Kent, added “Our development programme has been operating in Crawley for ten years so we are delighted to be working with Thomas Bennett Community College on this Academy. It will help to further develop football in the Crawley area. UEFA qualified coaches will work with students to manage the squad members in training sessions and in a competitive league fixtures. We have a marked record of recruiting both full time and part time staff from Academy graduates so we’re looking forward to seeing the new crop of players at the club’s training ground.”

All students will be encouraged to continue with their football outside of college and will have the option to utilise the school’s links with clubs in Sussex and Surrey to gain greater experience at U21 and adult levels.

The future of students is a priority for Academy staff. “It’s incredibly important to us that students start to plan their exit routes for once they have graduated from the Academy” added Chris Jones. “We ran our annual futures fair in September and it was really great to see how the current 2nd year students started their journeys. The event focused the boys and now we already have students with offers for university, contracts to coach in America and some with firm job offers for when they complete their courses.”

“Applications for the trial have already come in and we must stress that all players must register on the website before they come or they will be unable to trial. Being able to use the club’s facilities is incredible opportunity for the players and us to see them so I would encourage any player in year 11 who is interested to register and come along.”

The trial will run from 1pm to 4pm at Chelsea FC’s Cobham training ground

>> Chelsea Academy Trial 7th Feb 2015

Chelsea Football Academy is 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 Chelsea catchment, then your best chance will be to join Chelsea FC Academy.

About Chelsea Academy

Chelsea Academy offer an advanced football development and education programme supported by expert and dedicated staff. Chelsea FC Academy is located at: 64 Stoke Road, Stoke D’Abernon, Cobham, Surrey KT11 3PT

Chelsea FC Academy use advanced technology and coaching methods to develop their players. They are actively looking for upcoming talent to join their academy, and are very selective about who gets in, as competition is tough.

With the changes that have taken place in the football academy system. Academy Category one clubs are now free (U12+) to recruit from all over the nation.

Previously, Category one clubs could only recruit talent within a 90 minute travelling time to the academy, but the FA have reconsidered this following thinking that the best talent should only fairly be allowed to play in the best academies even if they do not live nearby. This gives the very best talent the very best chances of success, thus growing our home grown talent for the international stage.

This has seen a rise in host families being recruited at Chelsea Academy, to help house young promising talent in safe family environments.

Upcoming Fixtures at Chelsea FC Academy

Chelsea Academy has a whole programme of upcoming activities, fixtures and events. Check the times of each match or look up the match venue for any of the Chelsea FC Academy Age groups.

How to get a trial at Chelsea FC Academy

You must be selected to have a trial at Chelsea FC 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 Chelsea FC Academy is to join a Chelsea Soccer School. Scouts regularly select young players from soccer school sessions and invite them to trial at the development centres for Reading FC, and anyone can play in their soccer schools so it offers an open door for all to get spotted.

It is also particularly good planning to take your child to soccer schools as soon as they are old enough, as their competition will be doing the same, so it enables them to develop their talents in line with the same level as their peers.

How to get scouted by a Chelsea FC Academy scout

Chelsea FC Academy scouts offer players the chance to trial. Many players are lucky enough to find themselves in the right places when scouts are watching games, but Chelsea are also very aware that good talent can slip through the net, so do offer players the chances to directly contact them with the below details.

Understandably they are unable to respond to everybody due to the volume of applications, but this does serve as an effective way to alert scouts about talent looking to take their football to the next level and secure a trial for Chelsea FC Academy.

• Players CV

Once you have collated all of the above information, email Chelsea FC Academy via this address:
