Argyle Community Trust
ARGYLE’S Football in the Community Trust are currently recruiting for their highly successful football scholarship programme to start in September 2016.
We are looking for young players of school-leaving age, with a passion to play football at a high level, to take academic studies under the guidance of Plymouth Argyle, whilst at the same time developing their football talent.
The programme is structured to allow 16-18 years-olds to participate in tailored academic studies, alongside the football scholarship run by Plymouth Argyle Football Club.
The programme is designed to give people excellent academic qualifications that can take them forward into a variety of possible future avenues, such as a British University, overseas Universities, full-time employment and work placements.
In addition to this, the course provides young people with the opportunity to train and play as a football scholar alongside their studies. Previous students have progressed into the professional game, climbed the football pyramid and also gone overseas, whilst others have improved on their football ability and continue to play an excellent standard of non-League football.
We do not prevent players from training or playing for their local teams. In fact, we encourage this and would like players to stay within local football. The programme would not affect your games or training schedule, as the course is an academic programme and runs during term-time.
On top of this, we now have a team competing in the South West Peninsula League, with players on the programme competing as team-mates to youngsters from our Academy at Plymouth Argyle and first-team professionals.
If you are interested in the programme or would like more information about open evenings and trial dates, then please contact lee.britchford@pafc.co.uk or call the office on 01752 562561 ext 4.
