Barnet FC are running open trials for Under 16 players to gain a two-year BTEC Diploma in Sport by joining their College Football Development Program.

The trials will take place at midday on Saturday 24th January on the 3G pitches at The Hive, and will be open to all Year 11 players born between September 1st 1998 and August 31st 1999.

This is an exciting opportunity to complete a two-year, practical work-related course starting in September that covers all aspects of the sports industry, health, safety, nutrition and preparation alongside a football programme involving both practical and theory sessions run by the Barnet FC Academy.

We are looking for athletic individuals with a reasonable amount of playing experience and a keen desire to play at a higher level. To be eligible, players must also have five GCSEs at Grade A-C including English and Maths to complete a Level 3 course or four GCSEs at Grade D-G including English and Maths to complete a Level 2 course.

This is a one-off chance to join up with Barnet FC in the pursuit of both sporting and academic excellence, with the added bonus of having the chance to progress through the club’s Youth System all the way to the first team.

We have between 20 and 24 places available, so if this sounds like you or somebody that you know be sure to register for the trials for free by clicking here.
