Take your game to the next level by trialling for a place on the West Ham United Foundation’s Player Development Pathway.

Our pathway is designed to offer players of all levels a structured opportunity to grow, develop and progress under the guidance of experienced coaches within a professional club environment. The pathway is made up of three progressive tiers:

Technical Development Centres (TDC) – Entry Tier
A great starting point for players showing potential and passion for the game. TDC offers tailored coaching in a positive learning environment, focused on core skills and fundamental development.

Development Squads (DS) – Invite Tier
Designed for players demonstrating advanced technical ability and game understanding. Players train and compete in a more challenging setting, with closer alignment to performance targets.

Performance Squads – Higher Tier
The top tier of our pathway, for high-performing players who consistently excel. This level involves the most competitive fixtures and exposure to high-standard coaching.

All players attending the trial will be placed into one of these three tiers based on their performance and potential. These trials are not about pass or fail — they are about finding the right environment to support each player’s development journey.
