FCV International Football Academy has organised a trial day for aspiring midlands-based footballers who would be interested in joining FCV Academy as a day student in September for the 2022/23 season.

Event Information

The evens are taking place on 7th & 21st July and is open to 16 to 18-year-old boys who are within a commutable distance to FCV Academy’s new 66-acre home in Leicestershire – the Grace Dieu estate.

During the open event players will enjoy informative talks from FCV Academy’s leading staff members both on and off the field. They will then play in a trial game in the evening at local club Coalville Town Football Club in front of coaches, with FCV Academy scholarships available for stand-out performers.

Day students at FCV Academy will gain an elite football experience at a reduced rate due to not requiring onsite accommodation. They will be able to study the BTEC Level 3 Sport Coaching & Development course at either foundation diploma, diploma, or extended diploma level.

As part of the course, players will also take part in trial days, showcase opportunities, and competitive matches for FCV Academy teams while learning from high-level coaches – including guest coaches from England’s top professional divisions.

Book your place

There will be scholarships for a two-year course available for six players who impress during the game, and the event is open to 28 players so please sign up quickly to avoid disappointment.

Those who are not offered a scholarship after the event will still be able to join the programme as a day student.

Players can register for the event by emailing recruitment@internationalfootball.academy with their name, date of birth (players need to be 16 years old by 1st September 2022), playing position, and information on current club.
