PALAS FC are extremely proud of supporting young people to reach their potential. Facilitating over 20 professional football trials from 2016 and counting.

“I am so excited for each and every student-athlete we take on. We’re from similar backgrounds as I’m local, I’m from South London and I love football. I understand how they feel and how important opportunity is. I am passionate to push them to their potential on and off the field to be the best they can be. We know why these students have joined us in the first place and make no doubt about it, we want to continue to push talent along the conveyor belt from south London, the 'football factory' for the UK.”
