Excel (Talent) Academies
The first entrance to the Excel Pathway is the Satellite Academy which runs for a minimum of 20 hours and is recommended for players aged under 14 years. If the athlete reaches their potential they then have the opportunity to progress to the County Academy and from here identified into the Regional Programme. The Academies are supported by the training at club level.

Players should be nominated against the criteria shown in the Excel guidelines (please contact Regional Excel Coach for details).
