PS Development Squad Trials
The FA is set to hold trials for the Partially Sighted Development Squad. The aim of this day is to identify talented partially sighted players who could progress to wear the ‘Three Lions’ in European or World Championships.
The FA is inviting individuals to enroll to attend the day directly. However, and most importantly, The FA is calling upon parents/carers, schools, colleges, universities, clubs or Centre of Excellence staff to identify (and nominate) individuals that they deem to have the potential to progress at this level. This is a valuable opportunity that should not be missed.
Accompanying adults will be able to view the trial from the viewing gallery at Lilleshall National Sports Centre if they wish.
