SUTTON COLDFIELD TOWN FC TRIALS

Sutton Coldfield Town are hosting trials for young players hoping to win a place at their new Football Foundation.

The Evo-Stik NPL First Division South side have teamed up with Birmingham Metropolitan College to help youngsters break into both the Non-League and professional games.

The Royals say students will study on full time B-Tec sports courses. Players selected for the Foundation will have a timetable which mirrors that of Academies at professional clubs, with their academic studies timetabled around training.

Royals spokesman Neill Murrall said: "We are very pleased to announce the launch of the Foundation and we are delighted to be working in conjunction with the College in this way.

"This is a very exciting development for the club with great prospects on offer for players who'll have a clear progression path to our senior team and Non-League football while they continue their education with the college."

Lee Chapman, Curriculum Manager of Sport at Birmingham Met College, said: "This is a great opportunity for young players who are leaving school or a professional club to pursue a career in football."

The team will play in the British Colleges Football League as well as mid-week cups.

Foundation trials will be held at periods through out the year at Sutton Coldfield Town's ground, make contact below for latest dates
