5 FOREWORD At the North Riding County FA, we are committed to the ongoing development of female football, we fully endorse the FA Girls Talent Development Programme and encourage the goal to develop young talent in an elite player environment. The North Yorkshire Girls Centre of Excellence is an essential part of our continuing plans to develop female football within our county. The centre makes a vital contribution in identifying the most talented young female players from around our region, offering these young players the opportunity to maximise their potential. The Centre has an excellent range of high quality facilities available at York College coupled with a highly qualified and committed Development Team, who create a positive learning environment for all of the players. It is a well-organised and progressive programme, committed to achieving excellence. The NRCFA for its part, are pleased to promote the partnership and support of this Centre of Excellence.

7 Having been involved with the North Yorkshire Centre since it was established in 2007, I have found it a privilege to work with the finest players and the most dedicated coaches in the area. I can truly say that everyone involved in this centre lives up to the ethos of being committed to excellence. I have been involved with football all of my life as a professional player and since then in a coaching and development capacity and as a coach educator. The facilities here at York College are second to none. The players benefit from an excellent learning environment, created by coaches who understand what is required to perform at the highest level and who harness the ability and commitment of the players to reach their full potential. This is an exciting time for female football, player participation is growing at a fantastic rate and the development of the game can only benefit from the FA s Girls Development Talent programme. I know through my own daughter who is currently part of the England Under 19 squad, the commitment and support that is required to make it to the top. The growth of the female game is tremendous and I am personally committed, to making sure that in our region we do everything we can to fully develop not only talented female players, but also the game as a whole.

18 GRASS ROOTS. WHERE EVERYONE BENEFITS. Initially there was some apprehension surrounding the onset of this Centre, but these early fears were swiftly eased with the management & approachable co-operation from the North Yorkshire Centre. Centre personnel have attended League meetings, assisted with League Festivals and supported the City of York Girls League. The League itself has increased in the number of teams and players throughout the whole period the Centre has been operating. Teams are now very competitive and no one team now dominates the various divisions. The Centre of Excellence has made a professional impact on the female game and as the League Secretary I hope this opportunity will still be available to other young talented players from the City of York Girls League.
