Fulham FC Foundation’s Girls Development Centre is part of our Female Football Pathway.
The Development Centre is an invite only programme for players U8-U16 that strives to support the footballing development of ambitious and accomplished grassroots players, while also fostering their overall holistic development. Sessions run by experienced coaches provides a pioneering and stimulating environment allowing individuals to recognise and reach their maximum potential. We look to support individuals across the FA's 4 corner model – focusing on physical, technical, tactical, psychological, and social aspects—to ensure holistic growth both on and off the pitch.
Our Girls Development Centre runs across three venues during the school academic term. The sessions run weekly to provide additional training alongside other football commitments. Pre-season camps take place in the summer holiday with fixtures to be offered during some holiday periods.
We help guide our individual players towards the opportunities best suited to them. We provide opportunities to progress to our Football & Education College Programme (16-18 years) and Fulham FC Women/ U18s where appropriate. Other sessions available at The Foundation include: Girls Kicks/Kicks Development Centre (10-18 years), Girls Soccer School (5-14 years) and our Player Development Centre which offers an opportunity for those who wish to play in a mixed environment (U7-U16s).
