Chester le street Town Ladies FC are working in partnership with Park View Academy of Sport to establish a joint football programme for female players aged 16 and above.
Park View Academy of Sport will establish a development programme for 16-19-year-olds, with midweek daytime matches in the National Football Youth League.
Those players who reach the required standard will have the opportunity to play in the FA Women’s National League with Chester le Street.
The academy is open to any player from a Regional Talent Centre, girls’ club or those who are seeking to play who may not be part of a structure yet.
