Alongside our flagship residential course, weekly development centres are held for players who want extra technical, tactical and physical work.

How does it work?
We recruit players who fit our player profile through our scouting network, recommendation or enquiry from parents. These players train each week with us while still being able to train and play for their clubs. We accept players from 4-12 years of age on our development centre programmes.

Elite Development Centre

Who can attend?
Players performing consistently well at club level, players signed at professional clubs or representative team players. This is invitation only.

What is it?
A centre set up to develop talented young players aged 8-13. A weekly 90 minute session fully loaded to teach the game, THIS IS NOT A SOCCER SCHOOL.

Where is it?
7-8.30pm Salford City Academy, Wednesday evenings, all season long.

This is not an open door policy and places are issued by referral from:
- Parents with players already at the centre
- Our scouting network
