Full-time U19 education and football package at the Grimsby Institute
Welcome to the FPP, our goal is to provide talented young players the opportunity to continue their development as a footballer in a full-time elite environment.
This is a unique opportunity for young footballers to develop their education and employment opportunities in the football and sport industry, whilst receiving professional football training and the chance to play competitive fixtures in the English Colleges football league.
