Warrington Rylands FC is delighted to announce the development of a brand-new Football Education Programme, designed to support ambitious young players aged 16-19 as they continue their football and educational journey.
The full-time programme will provide a professional environment where players can prepare, perform, and progress both on and off the pitch. Combining high-quality coaching with recognised educational qualifications, the initiative represents another exciting step forward in the club's commitment to player development and creating opportunities for young people across the region.
A Pathway for Ambitious Young Players
The Football Education Programme is being developed to give aspiring footballers the opportunity to train within a real senior football club environment while continuing their education.
Participants will benefit from:

While football development remains at the heart of the programme, the educational element is equally important.
Students will work towards a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sport over two years, providing a recognised qualification that can open doors to higher education and a range of career opportunities.
Potential progression routes include:
- Playing football full-time or part-time
- Coaching
- Higher education

- Sports analysis
- Sports business
- Teaching
- Media and marketing
- Officiating
By combining academic learning with practical sporting experience, the programme aims to equip students with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed for future success.

As a club, Warrington Rylands FC continues to invest in creating meaningful pathways for young people. The Football Education Programme will allow players to develop in a professional and supportive environment while becoming part of the wider Rylands family.
From training sessions and matchdays to personal development and educational support, participants will have the opportunity to experience life within a progressive football club that is committed to helping young people reach their goals.
