Emerging Players

The Emerging Players Programme (EPP) is a parallel coaching scheme to the Academy, for players aged between 14 and 17 who have excelled in their particular Development of Excellence (DoE) squads. These players will be invited to attend our EPP throughout the year.

The EPP is based at The County Ground and King Edwards School, Birmingham and follows an integrated approach to training across all areas including Technical, Tactical, Physical, Mental and Lifestyle.
