Here at Carlisle United we are creating a clear route to the top for those children that want to be professional footballers.

Step 1 - Football in the Community

Step 2 - Centre of Excellence

Step 3 - Youth and Reserve team football

The Ultimate Aim - A professional contract

Our Football in the Community activities are the first step on the ladder and are an ideal way to impress the fully qualified coaches with your skills.

Kids who work hard and show that they enjoy the sessions as they unfold have every chance of taking that next step, if they prove to have the right attitude, temperament and, of course, the necessary skills.

It's hard work if you want to go all the way, and no-one will ever pretend that it isn't, but the Football in the Community team are well versed in bringing the best out of youngsters across the age groups with their fun footballing activities and match based coaching sessions.

One thing we can guarantee - everyone who attends a course, whatever their ability, will come away feeling that they have had a worthwhile and totally enjoyable experience.
