Football Player Development Pathway

School of Health, Social Work and Sport

Our partners Macclesfield Football Club deliver the Macclesfield FC Football Player Development Programme (FPDP) which provides you with the opportunity to train and play whilst completing your degree studies with us.

The FPDP has a structured weekly programme so that you can keep developing as a player, including coaching, scouting, performance analysis and physical therapy. Our degree curriculum has been organised so blocks of time are available each day to support training, conditioning, fixtures, and recovery.

The university has opened doors for me because of what they've taught me about the sport industry. My experience at Macclesfield FC has shown me how a football club works and has helped me achieve my dream position.
