The club currently sits 6th in the Championship with 3 points from 2 games, having scored 5 goals and conceded 4 this season.
What is the Glenavon FC Development Centre?
The Development Centre aims to create a positive, inclusive environment where young players can develop football skills, confidence, and teamwork. Sessions will be led by qualified coaches, focusing on enjoyment and player growth. The programme runs in two 22-week blocks, with the first block starting on 4 October 2026 and ending on 21 March 2027.
Who can join?
The centre is open to players of all abilities, whether they are beginners or already part of a local team.
