DCFC granted FA Licence for Girl’s Centre of Excellence 2011/2012

DCITC

Derby County Football Club is delighted to announce that it is one of the 30 organisations nationally that have been granted a one year FA Licence to run a Girls’ Centre of Excellence for the 2011 – 2012 season.

DCITC

The FA Girls’ Centres of Excellence Sub Committee looked at every application in detail. The strength of each application and the supporting evidence provided was benchmarked against other applications in each locality. Detailed consideration was especially given to 4 major areas:

  1. Meeting the strict criteria associated with running a FA Girls’ Centre of Excellence
  2. Centres that provide a direct link to the 8 FA WSL clubs
  3. Centres that had a track record of producing England players or clearly demonstrated the infrastructure and potential to do so
  4. Ensure a geographical spread of FA Girls’ Centres of Excellence

We are now in a position to push on with the trials process and welcome players to attend who want to play and train within the centre of excellence programme at the Derby County Centre of Excellence. For more information on our trials and to download an application form, please click here.

Please be aware that pre-registering is required for the centre of excellence trials.
