The Scottish FA Performance School selection process for August 2018 has officially opened for boys and girls in the current Primary 7 cohort of our primary schools. Please note that the Performance School program is aimed at the most talented individual players therefore is not appropriate for players who only play for recreational purposes. The aim is to bring together the best young footballers from the area into a four year individual training and support program designed by the Scottish Football Association. High quality specialist Performance Youth coaches (full time employees of the Scottish FA) and additional qualified staff will deliver the program to the selected players. The Performance Manager and the Braidhurst’s Head teacher will have overall responsibility for the direction and organisation of the Performance School, including that pupils achieve the right balance between sport and academic life.
To apply please visit https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/performance/jd-performance-schools/applications/ – this is the only way in which you can apply as paper copies of the application form will not be accepted. All applications must be submitted online no later than Thursday 1st February 2018 for recreational players and Thursday 15th February 2018 for Club Academy Scotland players. Please note all correspondence including decisions will be sent by email so please ensure you type your email address correctly.
