Basingstoke Town Football in the Community School Of Development Centre
Basingstoke Town Football Club Football in the Community scheme in conjunction with our community providers Learning Through Sport Limited are delighted to announce that for the 2011/2012 season we will be running a School of Development Centre for some of the most exciting and promising youngsters within Basingstoke and Deane and surrounding boroughs.
The School of Development Centre is a professional set up with professional aims. Basingstoke Town Football Club has a vested interest in the development of young local talent and our aim is to have a regular annual feed into our 16+ aged academy side and finally into the world of semi-professional football with the senior side. The School of Development Centre is designed to educate and improve talented players.
We aim to run the centre in conjunction with local youth teams and clubs offering players in the following age ranges for the new season U7/U8/U9 and U10 (please see age ranges below) the opportunity to have the chance to become part of our School Of Development Centre.
Unlike professional clubs we have no intention of setting up our own Basingstoke Town Football Club youth teams and “stealing” the local grassroots clubs and teams best players. Within our School of Development Centre we do not look to take players away from their clubs and teams but to work together to bring along a player, which in turn should benefit their regular sides.
Our School Of Development Centre Can Offer:
Weekly top coaching sessions provided by UEFA/FA Qualified coaches using some of the most up to date methods and methodologies.
Coaching to take place on our top of the range recently refurbished 3G pitches.
Specialist Coaching for Goalkeepers.
Arranged matches against Semi-Professional/Professional Development Centres.
Sharing good practice sessions for local clubs and managers.
