The Centre will accommodate 54 players aged 8-16 within the playing programme which challenges the skills and development of the players against other Centres within the South East. The games are observed by England scouts with elite players progressing through to Regional and England training camps.
The Centre draws on the skills and experience of a variety of people: the coaching, medical, welfare and administrative staff. Middlesex County FA’s Girls' Centre of Excellence is not only committed to the development of the players, but to the development of its staff, to ensure that they are given the best opportunity, in the right environment to have fun, learn and develop and achieve the best that they can be.
