The Peninsula Pune Football Club Academy (PPFCA) will conduct open trials for their U-17 and U-19 teams.

The trials will be held at the Pune FC training pitch in Mamurdi from April 20 to 25, 2013 and the selected trialists would be part of a two-season residential programme (2013 to 2015) at PPFCA.

Interested youngsters born after 01.01.1997 (U-17 Category) and 01.01.1995 (U-19 Category) are eligible to take part in the trials.

“The idea to have an Under-17 residential programme is to allow players make a stage wise progress a concept followed world over. We believe and hope that someday, with the right exposure, players from these ranks will graduate to higher levels and make all proud,” Pune FC’s Head Of Youth Development Ranjan Choudhary told the official club website www.punefc.com.
