PLAYER
RECRUITMENT
Saints Southwest work with thousands of children each week in various Education, Community and Football Development programmes, along with attending a number of tournaments and events each season.
Our large coaching team recruit players into our Football Development programme who display the key attributes we look for at Saints Southwest.
You can also request an open trial or visit from a Saints Southwest coach.
We understand that players come in all different varieties with a mixture of strengths and weaknesses. We take into account a player’s technical, tactical, physical, psychological and social attributes, as well as looking at relative age effect and maturation rates. Character is also a very big facet.
We also review our current player cohort in the Football Development programme to assess whether a target player has the potential to integrate into the group
