Otley Town Football Club are forming an Academy team for the forthcoming season.

Coached and managed by the highly-experienced David Cope, the team will play in West Yorkshire Alliance Division Two.

The club operates well-managed junior and senior sections and enjoys excellent playing facilities at Pool Road, Otley.

The Academy team is seen as the next stage in its development by seeking to bridge the gap between the two.

With first-class coaches now in place, Otley are aiming to provide the correct environment for developing young players and giving them a football education, providing them with the best possible chance to succeed in the senior game.

Any young players interested in joining Otley Town’s Academy should contact David on 07786-515833.

Another possibility is to come along to the club on training nights – Mondays and Wednesdays at 7pm.
