The vision of the club is to have a youth set-up that makes the local area proud by maximising the talents of enthusiastic young players in the local and surrounding areas. To do this we need to create the right atmosphere for our young players to thrive. The culture at Harrogate Town is based on our core values of Integrity, Pride, Honesty, Trust and Respect and is driven by the people involved. We believe that by remaining true to ourselves, we can help young players be the best they can be in both football and in education.
The aim is for Harrogate Town’s PDC, APDC and the CAT4 Academy to be at the forefront in producing technically gifted young footballers who will represent the club in the future. With various player pathways in place for both boys and girls, we aim to engage with all areas of a young players development both on and off the pitch.
Our Player Development Centre is proudly sponsored by Harrogate College.
As well as at St John Fisher's, our PDC now runs from Rossett Sports Centre in Harrogate, a new addition for the 2023/24 season.
Our Player Development Centre allows boys from Under 5 to Under 17 the opportunity to access additional high-quality coaching and support, relevant to their development stage.
