The club offers a 2-week free trial period for new players to train with their age group before making the decision whether they would like to formally join the club.

For this to take place, the FA needs to issue a formal dispensation. There are very limited circumstances in which dispensations to play up and down are permitted. The FA seek to maintain a balance between making sure that players are in the appropriate age group for their size and development, but also that no one is gaining an unfair advantage, and the safety and well-being of the child and other children are preserved.
A player is permitted to play one age up.
The only exceptions are:
A player can be considered to play a year down if the characteristics of that child’s disability or significant physical developmental delay (‘SPDD’) mean that participation in their chronological age group would put them at a significant disadvantage. An application should be made directly to the FA to consider this. Dispensations are issued for a stated period, which is usually one football season.
As an FA Pilot, FA Girls Regional Talent Clubs can play as an individual or as a team in a boys’ league up to 2 years down if it is considered appropriate for their development and to ensure the right level of competition. FA Girls Regional Talent Clubs can therefore play at their chronological age group, a year down or two years down. There are also pilots taking place involving community girls’ teams playing in a predominantly boys league to play down one age group. For leagues to do this, they require permission from the FA so that it can be monitored.
The club will always try to consider what is best for the player and a consensus of the agreement must be reached between the team manager, the child's parents and of course the child themselves.
