PDC play their first fixture!

12:25 PM, Friday, 20 January 12.

FA Player Development Centres allow talented club footballers with the opportunity to have an extra coaching session each week providing a stepping stone in to Centre of Excellence football should players wish to progress up the female football pathway.

Christmas holidays saw the 1st fixture for our PDC against Bedfordshire, and the Berks & Bucks based squads performed very well, the U11’s won 2-1, the U13’s battled out a 3-2 victory and the U15’s were held to a 1-1 draw. Technical Director Adam Colley commented on how pleased he was with the level of commitment and ability of the players and was looking forward to supporting the girls to become more team orientated over the next few sessions.

One grassroots coach and parent said "The PDC gives an opportunity for my better girls to coached at a higher level than I can deliver to a mixed ability team. You can see the difference in them on a Saturday with the confidence and skills they play with!"

With the next 8 weeks coaching under way, the girls are looking forward to the next fixture against some of the London Development Centres in half term.
