Traditionally girls in the North of the county have had to travel substantial distances to access elite coaching programmes so we are really pleased to be able to run the centre from Hartpury’s world class sporting facilities just outside of Gloucester.

The FA’s Emerging Talent Centres is an innovative programme designed to make elite coaching programmes more accessible. Players are encouraged to continue training and playing with their local clubs but receive additional high-level coaching and access to additional high-level games at the ETC.

The coaching sessions will take place on Thursday evenings on the 3G pitch at Hartpury University and College and there is no cost to joining the programme.

To keep the quality of the programme as high as possible we are looking for the very best female players in the region. There will be initial open trials as per below followed by other recruitment events throughout the course of the season.

You can sign your daughter up for the first open trial on Sunday 28th August HERE.

If you have any questions or player recommendations can also be sent to girlsetc@fgr.co.uk.
