The development programme, run by Passmaster Coaching, aims to help young female players to develop their technical skills alongside their normal grassroots team.
The academy-style training programme for under-10 and under-11players is led by professional UEFA B licence coaches at London Road Sports Centre in Shrewsbury, on Thursday evenings.
A limited number of players are being invited to join the squad.
“We wanted to give girls more opportunities to develop their technical skills, as the options are quite limited in Shropshire, and we were keen to promote the girls’ game which is growing all the time,” said head coach and Passmaster director Lee Green.
“The programme is designed to complement any grassroots football teams or other sessions that players may already be attending, ensuring they continue to progress in a supportive and professional environment.
“Our goal is to help each child maximize their potential, giving them the ability to express themselves in every session.”
The syllabus focuses on improving a wide range of technical skills, such as ball control, passing, dribbling and shooting, while also enhancing players' overall understanding of the game. There will also be opportunities to play development games against other teams.
The sessions are delivered by Lee Green and fellow coach Steve Green, both of whom have experience of working in professional club academies.
Parents of interested players are invited to email contact@passmastercoaching.co.uk with their child’s name and the name of their current grassroots team.
