Dutch Development Program
Exclusive Opportunity
The Dutch Development Program, exclusive to St. John's Football Club, is an elite training experience designed to immerse young athletes in the European football culture, led by former professional players holding UEFA A and Pro Licenses. This program offers players a unique opportunity to develop their skills through high-level coaching and competitive play. The schedule typically includes participation in top-level tournaments, intensive training sessions with UEFA-licensed coaches, and collaborative experiences with professional academy clubs across Holland and Germany. Professional scouts are often present throughout the program, providing players with valuable exposure and the potential to be identified by top European clubs. Through this hands-on experience, participants gain deep insight into advanced training methodologies, tactical understanding, and the professional standards expected at the highest levels of the game.

How can my child take part in the Dutch Development Program?
St. John's Football Club exclusively offers this opportunity. We hand pick athletes based on a number of criteria to determine who has the best chance of success. Some may be requested by the Dutch trainers and/or clubs to be seen for the first time or multiple times. There are a limited number of available "seats".
Do we have to be a member of St. John's Football Club?
Not necessarily. While we always hope you choose to experience our unique brand of football, we will never let club politics stand in the way of providing opportunies to the youth in the area.
How can I register my child for this program at St. John's Football Club?

How much does the Dutch Development Program cost?
Costs vary by year, depending on a number of factors, but we always strive for it to be as cost effective as possible. Pricing will be shared with those nominated to attend.
How is travel arranged?
All travel and accommodation expenses are arranged by the family of the athlete that is nominated. SJFC is solely responsible for coordinating the scheduled events of the week and training.
