Paulton Rovers will be launching a new football centre for youth player development at the club on their presentation night, due this Thursday, 19th May.

The new centre, which will be a community-based project, will give the opportunity for players of any gender from the age of seven to 21 the chance to develop their football skills.

Players will be able to combine football with education and will have access to qualifications, including apprenticeships and university places, while continuing to play for the club during mid-week matches and the freedom to play with their existing clubs at weekends.

Trials will begin at Somervale School on Wednesday, 1st June for 16-18 year olds and Thursday, 2nd June for 7 to 16 year olds. More information and application forms can be obtained from Paulton Rovers.
