Protec
Pro Football Trials

Welcome to Protec Football Academy, we are accredited by the F.A and are one of the most established and successful providers of youth football in the UK.

Having over 25 years of experience in the football business, we are now proud to be working in association with Crystal Palace F.C Academy. Our Elite Development Centre is based in Hertfordshire and is open to all players that are willing to travel for trials and training. Your first initial trial with us is free of charge.

The centre has been designed to work closely with grass roots football and the professional game. Our coaches are all UFEA qualified, and DBS checked. Weekly coaching sessions are regularly attended by official Crystal Palace F.C Academy scouts, providing young players with guidance and the possibility of trialling at a Premier League Club.

Coaching sessions are for age groups U8-U14 and will focus on developing skills and tactical game play. Running along side this is the opportunity of playing in one of our inhouse Elite Development teams, playing on a regular basis against other Academy Development and Red Division grass roots teams (Session fees apply).

For others, who don't make the grade at Premiership Academy level, will be given the chance to be referred to scouts from lower league clubs via our talent I.D games.

PROTEC FOUNDATION PHASE AGE6-8.

Especially for our younger age groups age 6-8 who are just starting out on their football journey and to improve their existing skills. You will work with our UEFA qualified and DBS checked coaches learning new skills such as ball mastery and small sided games go to courses tab and select Protec Foundation phase program.

"Before the 'Wenger' - this man changed football myth, there was Pete Edwards. Introduced modern football fitness, nutrition into English game with NFFC '93. A bigger architect of promotion to 3rd in Prem than Clark, Pearce or me.

Pros, use him, he's the Godfather."
