For a number of years SRDF have been delivering programmes to develop local players, coaches, teachers and volunteers through our 'Rising Stars' programme. From 2015 we took on the the mantle of running the the Red Devils u16s Scholarship team and in 2016 we developed a Category 3 U19's College Academy to fill the void left by the ending of the full U19s Academy. These teams give the chance for local young players to compete against high quality opposition from across the country

At SRDF we are fully committed to providing a first-class experience for all in our player development pathways. Whether they be a 13-year-old player starting out on our ‘Outstanding’ accredited ‘Rising Stars’ development programme, an established player in the under 16s or an 18-year star of our College Academy team, we are always looking to do even more for them and this is where you can help us.

Your donations will help us provide more kit and equipment for our players, coaches and volunteers. They will help us provide more subsidised coaching qualifications for local volunteers, training camps, support on strength and conidtioing and nutrition, as well as access to better facilities on a more regular basis. 

We thank you for your time and any donation is greatly appreciated. If you want more information, including how to get involved or even watch a match, please contact us for more information on 0161 786 1591
