PG10 Coaching, the FAW/UEFA football accredited provider, will run open days for children and young people aged between five and 14 years old.

The open days are available to all children across the Vale of Glamorgan who would like to take part.

The first open day will be held at Cowbridge Comprehensive School on Sunday, July 5, with under-6s, 7s and 8s being run from 11am until noon, under-9s and 10s from noon until 1pm and under-11s and 12s will be from 1-2pm.

Then on Monday, July 6, the under-13s and 14s will run from 6-7pm.

A key part of each development centre is to bridge the gap between grassroots and academy football and help clubs develop their junior players.

More than 100 children aged 9-16 have gained academy places in a number of top English and Welsh professional football clubs raging from the Premier League, Championship to League 1 and 2, with more than 50 children aged 6-8 involved in several professional football clubs pre-academy programmes. Last year saw two players that have been involved in PG10 coaching previously also have the honour of representing Wales and winning the Sky Sports Victory Shield - the first time this has happened since 1948.

Led and mentored by Wales and Everton legend Neville Southall, a number of PG10 under-16 and under-17 players have gained accredited coach education, child protection and First Aid qualifications and now help coach in the popular under-6 provision which serves Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan where hundreds of under-6 children play football under the FAW mini football umbrella - this also aids university applications and voluntary and work experience opportunities.

To aid player development, coaches have also gained insight to Barcelona FC, Valencia FC and Villarreal FC academies and this year will visit Bayern Munich and Real Madrid with its players. There players and coaches learn about coaching, nutrition and the club's philosophy. Further events have been planned with development days and a goalkeeping day at Everton FC. Further educational experiences have been planned at Liverpool FC, Everton FC and Wembley FC.
