Women's Under-21s begin player recruitment
Southampton FC Women are about to start recruiting for the 2024/25 season, looking for world class developing players to join their Under-21s squad.
The U21s team plays at the highest level of academy football and sit within our FA Category One licensed Pro-Game Academy.
Several of the current Women's first team have already progressed through the club's ranks, and the pathway continues to thrive with involvement for a handful of youngsters in the 2023/24 campaign.
Now, Saints are looking to recruit further young talent, with trials by invitation taking place on 16th February at the club's Staplewood Campus - as well as further opportunities on the 9th and 11th April.
Interested players should complete the online form below to sign up for consideration.
The U21s side play in the FA PGA U21 mid-week league – a national league for all licensed academies that play on a Wednesday – and cup competitions over the season.
Training takes place at Staplewood Campus throughout the week, including all day on a Friday and Saturday, with additional mid-week evenings.
At Southampton Football Club, we are committed to supporting our young players in their education as well, with a requirement for all players to be in education until 18-years-old with a clear educational plan after that.
Players in both further and higher education are encouraged and supported; we have excellent relationships with local education providers - schools, colleges, and universities - to support whatever educational journey our young players undertake alongside football.
