Development Days
The Football Education Academy (FEA) will be hosting development days throughout the year for you to get a taste of what it’s like to be a player!
The FEA programme combines the chance to represent Stoke City Football Club in the EFL Community Education Alliance League alongside studying here at Stoke-on-Trent College.
The sessions are open to boys and girls currently in Years 10 and 11 who are looking to join the men’s and women’s 16-18 programmes.
Football Education Academy Lead, David Beswick, is looking forward to seeing players back on the grass: “It’s always good to get an opportunity to work with the players on a regular basis and we have seen a real benefit over the past three seasons of the development days as it helps coaches and players get used to each other in preparation for the season ahead.”
