For players accepted You will receive coaching from our team of U.E.F.A Licensed coaches, where we can assess individual players strengths/ weaknesses, tactical, technical and positional awareness and get a real insight into what is expected from a player wanting to play at the highest level and the oppertunity of joining one of our Development teams that play regular games against other academy sides. For players that do not make it at premiership academy level will have the chance of being reffered to lower league clubs through our talent I.D trials.
It is every players dream to make it as a professional football player but less than 1% make it to senior level football and get signed.
Protec offer the opportunity for you to be seen and a chance to be trialed at the clubs academy but would like to emphasise that very few make it into the professional game. However, opportunities do exist to continue playing at lower levels if you are unsucessful at gaining a place.
