Oranje Scholar Academy

Invite Only for Far Post Players

Thanksgiving Camp

Open To All Players | Thanksgiving Break Week

  • The Oranje Scholar Academy is an invite only training program at Far Post. The name of the program is derived from the club’s connections to the Dutch and English games.

    “Oranje” is the Dutch spelling of the word orange and represents the club's long-standing connection to Holland through our yearly international trips and possession-based style of play.

    The word “Scholar” is a term used to describe young academy players in the United Kingdom who have reached their first target on the pathway to becoming a professional. At the age of 14 if you are offered a 2 year contract due to your ability, discipline and desire to develop you are deemed an academy scholar.

    We, as a club, are continuing to try and offer more specific training to players that show the quality, attitude and desire to take the next step in the game.

  • A few key aspects Far Post considers when choosing players to invite:

    -Technical quality

    -Commitment / attendance throughout the year leading up to each session. Please keep in mind that Saturday Skills are an excellent way to be seen by multiple coaches.

    -Attitude / body language within sessions and how you carry yourself within the facility.

    -Continued progression - updates on status and recommendations from current coaches.

    Over the course of the program each year we keep a close eye on players and their progress, especially players we feel are almost ready for the demands of the Oranje Scholar Academy.

    Our intention is to be responsive to players who are working hard and showing the skills and commitment to be a part of the training program.

    Invitations are sent to approximately 32 select players but we will only take about 26 players per age: first come- first served.

    This is an additional training opportunity and therefore carries an extra expense. Scholarship funds are available for players in need of support to join.
