We are developing a scouting programme. The aim of this scouting system is to collate more insight ensuring informed decision making takes place at selection points. The process will ensure
that several scouts observe a player on multiple occasions. These observations will be systematically recorded and utilised in selection. We have also begun developing a ‘new’ player profile
which will cover a broad range of qualities - this will aid our future talent development and identification. We will need a group of exceptional people (in some instances coaches) to scout
talent and a robust process of nominating and then observing players on multiple occasions. Currently the scouting programme is supporting selection into the England Age Group Pragramme
and we hope to expand this in to other environments over time. Clearly, it will be important that these scouts are as independent as possible and understand the biases, both conscious and
unconscious, that can be involved in talent identification and selection.
