Want to take your football to the next level?

At Herefordshire FA we are fully committed to giving talented players the opportunity to progress and develop their game in a supportive, fun and competitive environment. For this, we have the Girls Emerging Talent Centre.

The Girls Emerging Talent Centre (ETC) Programme is a hybrid model that compliments the grassroots game and will allow players to be part of an ETC and a grassroots club, school, or representative team, which we hope will enhance the variety of playing experiences. Players will receive expert coaching from experienced FA qualified coaches and organised fixtures against similar development and talent centres. Previous opposition for the ETC has consisted of Aston Villa, Leicester City, Swindon Town, West Brom and other ETC's. These fixtures are for the Under 10's and older.

Our ETC covers the Under 12's, 14's & 16's, whilst we run our own Under 8's & Under 10's groups. Trials are held every summer to recruit for the season ahead and we would encourage any local players who are interested to register and get involved. If however the season has started and you are wanting to keep up to date with any invitational sessions by signing up here.
