Open Evening for Foundation Development Centre
Open evening to be held at Elland Road on Friday 23rd August.
The Leeds United Foundation recently launched a Development Centre programme that will begin in September for young aspiring male footballers.
Coaches from the programme will be holding an open day and induction for the programm] at Elland Road on Friday 23rd August at 6pm. This will give participants and parents the chance to meet the staff that will deliver the Development Centre sessions and ask any important questions.
The programme is for boys’ Under-8 to Under-15 and will become a referral unit for the Leeds United Academy, providing an equal opportunity for young players with a good work ethic and potential in the sport to develop within a professional environment.
The vision for the Development Centre is to create a safe environment for individuals to reach their potential, work towards success, improve their skills and develop their confidence, leadership and levels of commitment to the sport.
The first session will take place on Wednesday 11th September and will be located at The Grammar School at Leeds from 6pm to 8pm; there are still spaces available for youngsters to sign-up.
The Development Centre will be an additional professional training programme to run alongside training and fixtures with their grassroots clubs. Every player will receive a Leeds United Foundation kit and each individual will be reviewed over the season.
