‘PASE Success Unrivalled’ Trial Dates set! Borehamwood FC PASE Scheme enters its 8th season and has evolved immensely each year striving to produce players and giving young people the right foundations to progress academically and in their football education. The Scheme professionalism and care to detail as a club is shown in their success on and off the field. This season they have produced 3 full England Internationals, two coming in the English College Football Association (ECFA) and English Independent Schools Football Association (ISFA). They are currently set for their fourth Southern County League Championship and on course to lift the ECFA College league title. This success looks to continue and with trial dates set throughout the coming months beginning in April 2010 to uncover the next crop of young players to continue our success. So if you’re interested in joining the largest footballing and education academy in the UK, and for more information on trial dates please contact our PASE office on 020 8953 5716 or download an application and brochure by visiting http://www.oaklands.ac.uk/about/borehamwoodfc.aspx
Borehamwood Football Club are a non-league community club who play in the Ryman Premier Division. The club started a football/education scheme backin 2002 with sixteen boys. Oaklands College came on board in 2005and since that time the scheme has become the largest and most successful scheme of its kind in the United Kingdom.
When the club first started PASE (Programme for Academic and Sporting Excellence) our aim was simple... we wanted to stoptalented young footballers from falling through the net, and give them a chance to progress their talent with top quality coaching. More importantly the club felt that we could createan environment where many of these young men could continue
their education and achieve a higher education qualification,
as the majority of these scholars would not have
continued in their studies.
The scheme has grown steadily over the past
seven years,and we now have 250 young scholars,
who play their football here at BWFC and are
educated on nine separate education sites in and
around the North London and South Hertfordshire
areas.
The club has been extremely successful on the
football front, with over 200 boys from the scheme now
playing semi-professional football within the non-league pyramid.
We also haveother boys now playing professional football.
Presentlywe have 3 boys representing England schools and colleges at various levels. As well as a number of boys who represent their respective counties. As I’m sure you can imagine, this is a great honour for both the boys and the club.
On the competition front we are now one of the most successful Semi-professional Clubs in the entire Country. Some of the competitions we have won include:-‘The Southern Counties Floodlit Youth League’ for the last 3 years. The ‘National Conference Cup’ (second only to the FA Youth Cup in terms of prestige) we have in fact reached the final 3 times in the last 5 years .Then there are the county cups and a number of other league affiliated cups and competitions,which we continue to win.
We once again reached the FA Youth Cup, First Round Proper for thethird season in a row, whichiswhen the professional Academies enter the competition. In the last two years we have reached the first and then second round of the FA Youth Cup, finallysuccumbing to talented teams from Leyton Orient and a Swansea City side which included six Welsh Schoolboy Internationals. We gave a great account of ourselves in each of thegames, and were unlucky not to come away with a result in both
Presently we feel we have a particularly gifted group of young men. In fact we set up a number of prestigious friendlies with sides from Tottenham Hotspur, Watford Football Club, Leyton Orient and Luton Town to everyone’s delight, we only lost one game and won the other three!
With this in mind, we hope that the next two years, will be our most successful to date and we will aim at going the furthest in our history in the FA Youth Cup... This would be achieved by reaching the third round proper where we would hope to meet Premiership opposition.
We are well regarded within the professional football community, and many of our boys are now with or being looked at by professional clubs.
The success seen at BWFCin football terms is unparalleled in the Non-League game, but the most important part to ourscheme is actually the education and thisalso makes our work more rewarding.
We want you to value education highly, so no matter how talented you are as a player you must understand you will not play a minute of football, unless youare up to date with all assignments and coursework in your subjects. We believe this policyteaches allboys that hard work is rewarded, and to get something good out of life you have to put hard work into it!
The facts arethat many of our boys, unfortunately will not be good enough to make the cut as professional footballers. So it is vital that the boys enjoy their football but achieve a qualification that they can use in the wider world after their time on the scheme.We have now educated and coached over eight-hundred scholars. Who have either worked towards their qualifications at the club, or have graduated with higher education credentials, including construction courses, A-levels or B-TEC Diplomas. Another six boys last September went off to University, which is again wonderful progression when you consider that many of these boys would have left school and not continued with their education.
The professionalism and facilities the club has developed and improved over the years, is critical in making the scheme possible. The club has a full time medical department, which deals with all the players injury, fitness and nutrition concerns... We have six UEFA and FA licensed coaches... A fully stocked rehabilitation gym... Andy Gray smart boards, enabling us to review matches and go through tactics and patterns of play with the boys... We have in house classrooms with computers for the students to catch up on assignments...We have a student canteen and we have three new mini buses for away travel and post match drops off points for players....
The changes at BWFC have been truly dramatic and again this is only possible with the help of our partners Oaklands College, Enfield College, The BeauSandVer Group, our main sponsors Cardif Pinnacle plus Elstree & Borehamwood Town council and Hertsmere Borough Council. We hope with the continued support of our partners, that we can continue to improve the PASE Scheme and to continue the clubs progress.With their help we can change and improve the lives of so many student / footballers.
