Centre of Excellence

YT graduate Simon Ashton

CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE
Boston United Centre of Excellence was established in the summer of 2003 and 20 youngsters from the scheme made their first team debuts before the end of the decade.

The Centre of Excellence youngsters train on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at RAF College Cranwell and Carre’s Grammar School and play fixtures against Football League and Football Conference opposition on Sunday mornings.

The Centre is managed by head of youth Steve Welsh, with admin support on a part-time basis from Lewis Thorogood.

The Centre has dedicated physiotherapy and goalkeeping provision and a team of dedicated coaches to aid the players’ development.
