Emerging Talent Centre 

Stoke City are on the lookout for budding female footballers to join its Emerging Talent Centre.

Promising young players can register their interest in attending one of a series of trials that will take place at Norton Miners Welfare Club throughout June.

The ETC looks to nurture talent by providing elite player development opportunities for female footballers aged between the ages of six to 16.

The ETC aims to develop players through an elite coaching programme in place for their appropriate age. Each player receives three player reviews per season with challenges to improve.

The ETC’s ultimate aim is to encourage players to reach the FA performance camps and England training camps.

The ETC works closely with the women’s team to provide a pathway for girls with ability to progress through the club ranks. Last season 85% of the players involved with the women’s teams had attended the ETC.

The U14 and U16 girls will take part in the regional club fixture programme. The U10s and U12s complete in a local boys league.

If you know someone has the desire to improve and complete at this level, please fill out the registration form here.

Once you have applied through the link your place will be secured. Bookings will close on Friday, June 2.

Please bring your daughter along to whichever age group her D.O.B. falls into. These age groups are for the 2023/24 season.
