Aberdeen Football Club has a significant reputation for developing young talent through its Youth Academy and Apprenticeship programmes.

Over the years, the Club has been fortunate to have the investment of families within Aberdeen who have opened their homes to, and functioned as Host Families, to our young players.

We are looking for families which can provide season long accommodation and those able to afford short term accommodation on an ad hoc basis.

Due to the ages of the players, we ask that host families meet our vetting standards and are willing to become members of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups Scheme which the Club ascribes to. Aberdeen Football Club ascribes to a rigorous and committed Child Wellbeing and Protection Policy.

We are looking for committed families who can embrace our standards, bring their enthusiasm, their personal investment and become an integral part of our development programme.
