PARTICIPANTS: This programme is aimed at males aged 16-18.


The criteria that must be met for players/students to register for and attend a Shadow Youth Team trial are: 

•You must be a UK or Irish citizen.

 •You must reside in the UK and hold a British or EU passport. All players that register online who do not meet either of the above will NOT be able to attend a trial. This is because Nelson and Colne College is not registered to accept international students that come to the UK on a study/student visa. If an applicant was to apply for a study/student visa and put Nelson and Colne College down as the educational facility, it would be rejected. The Shadow Youth Team (SYT) is a football and education programme, meaning the application of a visa to play football in the UK will be rejected. This is because the SYT programme does not pay or offer unpaid scholarships to the players/students who are part of the programme. The Shadow Youth Team is also unable to sponsor any players looking to do so.
