HFA FA For All

Girls Emerging Talent Centre Statement

A statement about the Girls' ETC for the 2024 - 2025 season.

HFA Hereford FC Girls’ Emerging Talent Centre are excited to announce that for the 2024/25 season, player subscription fees will be completely removed for all players within the Centre (Under 12s, U14s & U16s). This significant step forward has been made possible with support from the Premier League and the FA.

By removing financial barriers, we aim to open more opportunities for young, aspiring female footballers across Herefordshire. This initiative will allow talented players to train and compete at a high level without restrictions, encouraging the development of local talent.

Our HFA Hereford FC Girls ETC has continued to grow from strength to strength since acquiring our Girls’ ETC licence in 2022. This has seen an increase in player interest where record numbers attend our Talent ID sessions along with our open training sessions.

During the last 2 seasons, we have been able to develop our coaches which now include a UEFA B coach working with each age group, along with specialist coaches to support Strength & Conditioning, Goalkeeping and a Sports Therapist.
