The Jersey FA Capita Centre of Excellence have recently completed the screening process of 140 girls who were recommended by their Schools and Clubs - 48 were selected to attend weekly coaching sessions providing three squads at U12, U14 and U16 age groups.
Centre Director Paul Renton said "It was very encouraging to see so many girls attend the screening evenings - due to the quality on display, the players made it extremely difficult for us to select the three groups to join the Centre.
"A tremendous amount of work goes into selecting the players and in particular I would like to thank all the parents, teachers and coaches who have been so supportive with this process.
"The female section continues to go from strength to strength and once again all three groups will be together at Les Ormes Sports Centre. Weekly coaching sessions will be provided by qualified staff inside the Soccer Dome on excellent third generation artifical pitches."

Jersey FA Football Development Manager Brian Oliver said "Growth and retention is one of the key goals in the long term strategy of the Jersey FA – we believe the Centre of Excellence plays a very important role in keeping youngsters within the game.
"During the summer our female coaches have been attending FA Youth Award coaching modules as well as in-service training events to keep up to date with best practice. All the coaching staff are tremendous role models for the girls and their commitment, enthusiasm and passion for football enables us to provide this excellent player development opportunity."
