The Leeds United Foundation are pleased to announce the launch of an exciting partnership with Leeds City College to provide a full-time education programme for young females who aspire to play football at a high level.

The Elite Female Academy Programme will be delivered in collaboration with the Leeds United Girls Regional Talent Centre (RTC) ensuring that those looking to develop and create a career out of playing football are also committed to an academic programme of study alongside their training and competitive fixtures.

Young females that may be interested in the education and training course will be able to combine their full-time studies with Leeds City College alongside a specialised football programme provided and delivered by the Leeds United Foundation as part of the female pathway within the club.

Coaches involved in delivering the football programme are all UEFA B/A qualified with access also granted to other staff members that work within the Girls Academy, including physios, nutritionists, and performance analysts.

Those applying for the course will be involved in a full-holistic training programme that includes training four times every week as well as a fixture schedule where you will face teams across the country, receiving regular performance reviews and developing your knowledge on game analysis.
