ESSEX | Player Development Centre 25/26 season
We are pleased to announce the registration process is now OPEN to be able to trial for our GIRLS FOOTBALL Player Development Centre in Essex. Girls aged 8 to 16 are able to trial for the 2025-2026 season.
SHE CAN PLAY would like to remind all parents/guardians that the PDC is a tailored training programme that compliments existing players clubs. All players are coached by professional female football coaches and Head Coaches are all full time UEFA qualified experts in their field.
This is SHE CAN PLAY's 9th year delivering the Essex PDC with a track record of facilitating opportunities for players to progress through The FA Girls' England Talent Pathway with coaches making referrals for players who show Lioness potential. The development programme is one of the best in the country with two former players now representing England. Hope McShreffrey receiving her call up in February 2023 and Bella Cowley in November 2023.
Training takes place every Monday night (school term only) from September to May. The SHE CAN PLAY Player Development Centre compete in showcase games and tournaments against other player development centres, high performance centres and professional academies during half terms. Once more, the PDC does not replace existing football clubs and players can still play for their regular teams.
