Barking FC has really got its act together this season. As part of its new 5 year plan the club wants to involve local junior clubs in sessions on its stadium pitch.
Sharing its history as well as its facilities the club has offered junior clubs the chance to be coached at Pre-Match events on the pitch.
UEFA qualified coaches conduct sessions, along with small sided games on the pitch. A quick tour of the first team changing rooms to see where the managers make their team talks & also where the injuried players get treated in the physio room.

After the coaching sessions the youth teams line up & cheer the players on the pitch.
Off to the stands & then at half time they take part in a LBBD Penalty Team competition. Check out the website to see pictures & video of events already happened. http://www.barking-fc.co.uk/community.htm

The club is currently developing a strong youth policy of its own. This season sees two additional youth Teams being developed & further teams in the near future. Discussions are currently being conducted to formalise its own Scholarship scheme for school leavers. The scholarship scheme will be a combination of 9 hours of football specific training & coaching, along with educational classes to support foundation knowledge in the players chosen subject. Pathways for young people are endless that take on the scholarship scheme which will obviously include playing opportunities within Barking FC. Players within the scheme will represent the club in the Youth Conference league, the strongest youth league outside of the professional game. If you are or know of any footballing school leaver that maybe interested then please call Rob O’Brien on 07943 862303.
