FA England Para Football Talent Days
FA England Talent Days are a player’s first engagement with the Para Football Pathway and as the first selective environment in the player pathway. The pathway runs alongside football that players already take part in, so does not compromise current involvement in the game.
The programme will identify and signpost players to the ‘right’ environment at that point in time and seeks to feed the subsequent Regional and National levels of the pathway.
The impairment groups included in England Talent Day activities are:
– Players who are deaf
– Players who have cerebral palsy (and are ambulant)
– Players who are partially sighted
Age Range: 7 – 16yrs (with the exception of mainstream / non impaired GKs which has a more flexible top age range, please contact FA directly for more guidance on this).
There are England Talent Day running all over the country in the coming months. In the East Region, they are running a day in Cambridgeshire on Saturday 1st July at Cambourne Sports Centre (CB23 6FY) and in Hertfordshire on Sunday 4th June at Watford FC Training (AL1 1BZ).
All events run 10.30am until 1.30pm, players should come dressed ready to play football (including appropriate clothing, footwear and shin pads), Surfaces, venues & weather may vary, so please come prepared to be adaptable to both indoor (sports hall) and outdoor (3G or grass) and please bring suitable hydration (no fizzy drinks!) as you may be playing for up to 2 hours. Please be prepared to produce and share medical evidence of the qualifying condition, should you be asked to do so either on the day or via communications after the event.
All players should register for their chosen day on the Player Registration Link.
