The PDC facilitates opportunities for players to progress through The FA Girls' England Talent Pathway with coaches making referrals for players who show Lioness potential. The development programme is one of the best in the country with two former players now representing England. Hope McShreffrey receiving her call up in February 2023 and Bella Cowley in November 2023.
Training takes place every Monday night (school term only) from September to May. The PDC teams compete in showcase games and tournaments against other player development centres, high performance centres and professional academies during half terms. Once more, the PDC team does not replace existing football clubs and players can still play for their regular teams.
