The Emerging Talent Centre (ETC) is now entering its 4th season at Grimsby Town Foundation and is the place to be when it comes to developing young aspiring female footballers in the area.
The ETC is centered around developing the girl’s game in the area to support and work with grassroots teams to be additional training and support for talented female footballers. This programme is partially funded by the Football Association (FA) and works within the England Talent Pathway.
The Open sessions will be split into separate age groups with the Goalkeepers embedded within these. They will be held at Franklin College across the following dates listed below:
-

The open session events will begin with a talk about the wider female pathway regarding opportunities that Grimsby Town Foundation offers including our new Girls Advanced Development Centres (ADC).
Once Completed we will move onto the pitch to run the practical session, which will mirror the delivery of the ETC programme with elements such as strength & conditioning, technical training and small sided games. This element of the session will be two hours.
