Football Development Centres are back!

Book your son or daughter’s place at a WHU Foundation Development Centre via our new online booking system.

The new Foundation Development Centres have already been a real hit, with courses currently running over four venues in Thurrock, Romford, Epping and Newham. Opportunities to progress to the Academy are available for all players who attend a programme.

Players can sign up to WHU Foundation Development Centres on a ten week programme, where they will receive:
 

• Ten one-and-a-half hour sessions of high level coaching by professional Foundation coaching staff.
• Sessions delivered from the Academy coaching syllabus - Playing the West Ham Way
• An end of programme report that will outline areas of development and current strengths in the player’s game. 
• A game day against other centres which will be observed by West Ham United Academy scouts.

New for this summer term will be the Elite Football Development Centres, where every three weeks players will be selected from across all our programmes and invited to the Foundation’s Beckton site to receive elite level Academy coaching.

Additionally, if your son or daughter is a goalkeeper, you can now book them onto our new goalkeeping programme, delivered exclusively at St Clere’s School Centre.
