Please note that you will also have access to our online New Players and Parents Handbook, containing very useful information including policies, procedures, and terms, however you can also find document by clicking on this link; http://www.protouchsa.co.uk/downloads (some documents will require password access, please get in touch with us)

I will end my letter with the following statements, which I have always believed in and built our philosophy environment:

"PTSA focus and aim is to provide a pathway to professional clubs for the targeted underprivileged children and young people who are gifted and talented in football. The individuals in questions have a common goal and dream alongside PTSA, hopefully becoming professional footballers someday? To this date, this has not changed but what has, is the constant pressure to produce even better skilled and gifted footballers of the highest calibre.

Football is like investing in any good potential businesses; well here, you are investing in your child’s future and development, to possibly someday becoming a professional footballer or in better terms getting a football degree/education at possible the highest grade.

We have already produced well over 50 young schoolboy and professional footballers to date, most recent was Luca Carlton an under 15s at Premier League’s Crystal Palace FC in June 2019, signing a two-year schoolboy professional contract".

For further information, please do not hesitate to contact Tony Blair (Head of Academy) direct on - 07751 104 043 or myself on 07856 461 040.

Thank you for your time, support and co-operation,
