What would you rather do?

Are you definitely going to make it professionally?
First team football regularly?

Take everything into account and make a decision.

You should speak to the club about your wish to study your A Levels. They may be able to arrange a tutor or something for you I doubt you'll be able to study at college, cause they'll need you in for a couple of hours most days. Both of my brother were offered professional contracts at 16 so I have some understanding of how it works. If I remember correctly they HAD to study for some form of qualification (though it wasn't A Levels!). Good on you for wanting to do your A Levels ... it's good to have something to fall back on as so many very talented kids are offered contracts and then released within a couple of years, thats just the way football is, it's ultimately down to the first team managers choice whether he keeps you on or not :frown:

One of my brothers is quite smart and could have gone onto do A Levels but he moved to London for football (Palace) and lost that chance. Good luck though, you're in a very fortunate position, don't do something silly like turn the contract down :no:

It's a troll.

If he's mulling over whether he should do A-levels that must mean he's 16 years old. You can't get a pro contract at that age.

I am just in Under 16s...but I am at a London club at moment...If for any reason I dont get a contract (unlikely as I am playing up two years for a while now)..there is another club that has offered me a contract..but the sticky point is they would prefer I do their BTEC in Sports/coaching...inhouse...but I want to do A Levels

Don't either club have some sort of a college system?

Thanks for your reply! You obviously know what u are talking about!! :o:

As I mentioned in an earlier email...IWANT TO STAY AND DO ALEVELS Instead of the Vocational Qualification on offer - BTEC/FIRST DIPLOMA..... I have hinted the club, but it seems if they cant sort it..my parents will just have to keep forking out the fees until I finish my A levels..or I'll look for a way I can get some of the fees out of the club....for those that really want to know!!
-Yep I am at an independent school
- I am a full back
- Ive been at two different pro clubs from age 8 up to now.
- Originally left footed..but can use both feet..
- At age 13 played with 16 yr olds.
- By the way, any footballer can play in 1st team in pro club from age 15...and can be committed to a club at 16 on paper but will not be paid until 17th birthday..thats when he signs pro contract papers.. :o:

..club system is linked to a local college to do First diploma/btec in Sports & exercise coaching....it is equivalent to 2 Alevels..but not enough..... If I do 3 AS Levels and the 3 Alevels 2nd year around how many hours per day would my lectures be roughly.....I have spoken to my current school..but high unlikely I will be there for Alevels..will stay on at another school which run a shorter day...
