Players not selected…

For the players that aren’t selected, we understand that you will be disappointed. It is very, very difficult to pick out a small amount of players from such a large and talented group. As mentioned above, young footballers progress at varied rates, so just because we didn’t pick you this time it doesn’t mean you won’t get a chance at a later date.

We always suggest all players (selected or not) to attend our Mini Soccer programme on Saturday mornings where we can track your progress. These sessions cater for both boys and girls running between 10am – 11.30am. We would love to see lots of you at these sessions where all players are welcome from any school or club and looking to play more football, have fun and receive some extra coaching. For more information about these sessions as well as our holiday football camps, please click the following links…

We will be hosting trials again next season for the 2019/20 LTPD squads. Thanks to everyone once again for all your efforts and support.

Training – Selected squads will begin the coaching curriculum with weekly training sessions using top of the range equipment and facilities.
Fixtures – All MBFDC squads will play against other LTPD centre’s from across the County as well as fixtures against the Cornwall Centre of Excellence programme and Academy players from Plymouth Argyle.
Kit – A full Nike training kit package is available, includes embroidered logos and player initials.
Annual Fee – £65.00, covers all sessions and fixtures for the season (September-June). The annual fee works out approximately £2.50 per session. Trials are free of charge and all players must attend a trial period before being selected onto this programme.

Further Info…

Mounts Bay Football Development Centre (MBFDC), in association with Cornwall County FA, would like to introduce you to the Long Term Player Development (LTPD) structure that is currently running across the County.

Designed and supported by Cornwall FA, Plymouth Argyle & Cornwall Schools FA, the LTPD centre’s are designed to provide an opportunity for young players to improve, through enhanced standards of coaching and provision. This particular structure therefore targets players who possess strong levels of ability for their age.

This programme is designed to operate below professional club Academy’s and above school / club football, co-operating with them to ensure a development pathway is in place throughout Cornwall.

Our centre at Mounts Bay offers professional coaching with UEFA & FA licensed coaching staff, we have been running now for eight years and we are the directed centre for the Penwith area within the County Player Pathway. We are hoping to prosper even further this season by improved links with the Plymouth Argyle Centre of Excellence satellite centre at Brannel and the Academy at Ivybridge. Players at our centre making progress will be fed directly into these structures should they be able to commit. Even if they can’t, Plymouth Argyle will continue to monitor individual’s progress at our centre.

Schools in the local area will be asked to nominate their strongest players for the upcoming trials. Selection for the trials alone is a massive honour and we hope you will support our objective of nurturing and providing professional standard coaching to our gifted young players.

Details for the assessment sessions are provided above and players must attend all assessment sessions. Players attending the trials should bring a drink, shin-pads and wear appropriate playing kit/footwear for artificial-turf (no metal studs).

Every year the list of selected players will appear on the MBFDC website after the trials have finished.
