If you are currently in Year 11 or aged 16-19 and wondering what your future holds, Vauxhall Motors FC in partnership with Interactive Sports, have a unique opportunity that will allow you to play, train and compete like a professional footballer.
Even if you're not interested in the playing and training side, you can concentrate instead on the non-playing aspects of football. Both the playing and non-playing pathways for males and females allow the study of many football industry career routes such as Teaching, Coaching, Physiotherapy, Match & Player Analysis, Strength & Conditioning, Officiating and Football Business all whilst continuing in full time education on a 2 Year BTEC Sports Course at a level to support learners move into employment or University.
Learners complete their BTEC Course units vocationally in facilities based at the club. If learners follow the playing/training pathway they will compete in the Conference Youth Alliance League and English Colleges F.A. League.

- Provides learners with up to 12 hours per week of professional training and matches for those following the playing/training pathway

The programme is fully funded and is therefore free of charge to all learners.
Andrew Tower, Head of Community at Vauxhall Motors FC, is managing the programme and adds "This programme is a fantastic and exciting development for the football club and for young people in the region.
"The club needs to develop its own players and this programme compliments the current youth set up and open up the pathway for promising young players to progress into a semi-professional football club.
"We consider the playing pathway to be second only to a professional football club scholarship because the learners will not only gain the same academic qualifications but also receive up to 12 hours a week of training and games, which will help them improve technically, tactically, physically, and socially, and support their football development.
"Even if the playing side of things isn't for you, there are still opportunities to learn about other elements within a football club environment such as coaching, analysis, physiotherapy, and so on, whilst gaining academic qualifications.
"We can’t wait to get started and I would encourage all boys and girls aged 16-19 years as well as their parents, who enjoy the playing and non-playing aspects of football to get in touch with me and to register their interest straight away."
There is an open day/trial now confirmed starting on Saturday 19th April 2014
