NORFOLK County Council is supporting Norwich City and Football in the Community's search for female stars of the future for their girls' advanced and football development programmes.

During May and June a series of football trials will be held across Norfolk and north Suffolk.

From these annual trials the girls will be selected for either our Girls Centre of Excellence, Elite Centres or Player Development Technical centres.

The FITC Girls' Development Team will be in the areas as listed below, and players who are successful at the initial trial may be required to attend an additional trial in Norwich on Wednesday, June 9 - more information about this will be sent out after the first round of trials.

Commenting on 'Search4stars' FITC Girls and Women's Football Development Officer Emma Fletcher said: "Through the support Norfolk County Council has given us we have been given the opportunity for the first time to extend the trials countywide. We hope to unearth some genuine talent and push keen female footballers to their local clubs."

The FITC Girls Development Team will also be hosting an additional goalkeeping specific taster session from 6pm - 7.30pm on Tuesday, May 25 at Carrow Park, Norwich City FC.
