Racing Club become a grassroots partner club for Coventry City

Racing Club Warwick are delighted to announce a new development partnership with Coventry City FC.

The pairing will see Racing Club coaches with access to development events such as Foundation Phase Coaching Workshops for Under11s and Youth Development Phase Coaching Workshops for U11s - U16s. Racing's teams will have access to matches versus Coventry City Academy teams amongst other benefits which are hoped to provide pathways in both directions.

Paul Jayes, Head of Academy Recruitment at Coventry City FC Academy said, “We delighted to be working with a fantastic football club of Racing Club Warwick’s stature. At CCFC academy we pride ourselves on offering pathways and opportunities to local homegrown footballers. We look forward to work closely with Racing Club Warwick over a long term relationship, providing opportunities for the children of Coventry and Warwickshire.’

Racing Club Warwick's Ryan Goode said 'The Chairman Gary and myself have been looking at a partnership for some time and have spoken to several professional clubs to ascertain what could be offered. We felt that the link with Coventry was not only beneficial to the club because they are our local professional team, keeping travel and time restraints low, but also because the partnership they offer is not something they take lightly, which is what really impressed us. This is not a partnership in name only and will add to our already proven pathways which includes youth, academy and semi-pro football. Racing Club will also be assisting any local players released by Coventry City, safe in the knowledge that they will still be assessed and developed properly'.
