How are players selected?  

Players will be invited to a free trial session. We will then review and advise on best fit for each player if they remain within our structure or our coaches will signpost where possible alternatives if so desired. We will work on an Elite performance based system to development players through training and in-house matches. Our coaching team will regularly observe through training. Some of the advanced players may be asked to train with the Reading FC pre academy. 

 

Parents/guardians  also welcome to contact us for a conversation regarding trial sessions (contact details below)
