ELITE PERFORMANCE CENTRE
It was a busy day on Saturday for Colwyn Bay Football Club’s Elite Performance Squads who completed a sponsored walk from Rhos Point to Colwyn Bay Football Club in order to help raise funds for the squads. The young players, who were also accompanied by their parents & coaches, then watched the clubs senior team beat Harrogate Railway 2-0 in their UniBond Division 1 North fixture and were paraded before the clubs supporters at half-time.

The squads are pictured at the game along with some of the clubs first team players.

Launched this season under the guidance of the clubs Director of Football, Chris Whitley, the teams consist of Under 11’s and Under 12’s age groups and they have already played quality fixtures against academy sides at Everton & Wrexham where they put in some excellent performances. The players themselves have shown a marked improvement under the guidance of the EPC coaches and have so far benefited greatly from the experience.

The youngsters travel down to South Wales on 14th February where fixtures will take place against Llanelli’s academy teams. They will then visit Championship side Swansea City where they be given a tour of the new Liberty Stadium followed by game’s against Swansea’s academy teams.  Further fixtures are planned against Crewe & Wolves along with a visit to Llanelian Road by Everton Football Club.

The Elite Performance Centre is looking to expand the number of teams for next season and is also looking for sponsorship and fundraising support to help develop the venture further.
