Virtual Player Development Programme – free taster sessions taking place this half-term

Our Player Development Programme for budding young footballers is going 'virtual' for the first time during the May half-term.

Our Football Development Programmes offer world-class experiences, inspiring young players by using training methods direct from our Academy – renowned for developing talented home-grown players such as Harry Kane, Harry Winks and Japhet Tanganga – as we support every player to reach their full potential.

With children everywhere facing another home-based half-term holiday as the battle against COVID-19 continues, we're taking our coaching programme online. All places on these initial introductory sessions between Tuesday 26 and Friday 29 May have now been filled, but our waiting list remains open for you to register your interest for future virtual sessions, or in the event of already-allocated places becoming available again during the forthcoming half-term.

Tailored for players aged 7-12, the 30-minute sessions will take place via the online Zoom software used by the Club's players for their own remote training sessions during lockdown and will enable participants to interact live with one of our Global Football Development coaches while remaining at home.

The sessions feature 15 minutes of technical guidance with a competitive practice element to finish.

The programme is limited to 12 players per session to ensure each child gets the most out of their experience.
