The schedule for the day is meticulously planned to give both male and female prospects their moment in the spotlight.

Developing a strong youth academy is paramount to the long-term sustainability and success of any football club, and Truro City FC is no exception. Our academy is the bedrock upon which future first-team triumphs are built, providing a clear pathway from the junior ranks all the way to the professional level.
