The next block of Chester FC Player Development Centre sessions begins this month with applications now open for prospective players.
 

 
The PDC, which is for U6s to U12s, is designed to support young footballers in helping them reach their potential, offering advanced weekly training with coaches from Chester FC Community Trust and Chester FC Academy.
 
The structured programme challenges players using The FA’s four corner player development model and features games with professional clubs and academy teams.
