Competition: participation in the FA Youth Cup, the National League Academy League and the WRCFA U23 Development League.

Facilities, medical support and staffing: we operate in a professional environment with excellent facilities and highly qualified staff dedicated to giving scholars every chance to succeed.

Education: 12 hours of theoretical study following the BTEC Sport qualification.

The youth team programme is developing a strong reputation for its professionalism and player development, most notably; Carl Rushworth (England U20 & Brighton FC) and Jay Benn (FC Halifax Town first team).
