SUPPORTING PLAYER DEVELOPMENT ALONGSIDE GRASSROOTS CLUBS

After reviewing the Girls Football Pathway, Cornwall FA is proudly working in partnership with Plymouth Argyle to launch some new Long Term Player Development Centres as an additional training opportunity for female players.

The new centres are designed to support player development alongside their current grassroots football. Cornwall FA’s priority is to always support grassroots clubs; however we are aware that some players want additional training opportunities alongside their current football activity. This joined-up approach should fill that gap and help to grow girls’ football across the county. 

Cornwall FA would like to emphasise that these centres are designed to complement current grassroots provisions and in no way detriment the fantastic work of our affiliated clubs. Any new players arriving in these centres, without a club, will be directed towards a local grassroots club. 

Please note: girls that currently train with the Advanced Development Centre and Advanced Coaching Centre are not expected to attend these sessions.

The poster below contains the pathway structure as well as the details for the new Long Term Player Development Centres, which have been created to provide girls with additional training opportunities.

Dates, times, venues and contact details for all centres can also be viewed below.
