    Underpinning all of the above is a focus on FUN.

    As a registered charity we are determined to build on the success we have experienced to date.  To do this we are always interested in establishing partnership work with local and regional groups/agencies.  This website also gives information on how partners and sponsors can get involved to help us achieve our mission – ‘Making a positive difference for all through sport and learning'.

    These fun sessions are designed to help budding young soccer stars on the road to fulfilling their dreams.

    Watford FC Player Development Centres.

    The aim of the Player Development Centres is to provide a professional environment in which to develop skills and techniques.

    The Player Development Centres cater for talented young players who have attended Trust projects and were identified by the coaches. Once at the centre players work to a syllabus designed to develop all aspects of their game. Players are invited to represent Watford FC in games against other professional clubs, our own Academy sides and on tours of foreign countries
    The PDC’s work closely with the Watford FC Academy and talented players may earn the opportunity to play Academy football.

    To be in with the chance to be recommended to one of our Player Development Centres you need to attend one of the many Watford FC Soccer Schools.
