Bristol Rovers Academy are looking to recruit host families to support our young players between the ages of 16-18 years old.

We currently have around 150 young players within the Academy some of whom stay with host families allowing them to take the opportunity of full time employment at the Football Club as either an apprentice or professional player.

We are looking for families who can provide a suitable safe home from home environment on a Bed, Breakfast and an evening meal basis covering 7 nights per week.

We are working to the government COVID-19 guidance in hosting.

It is advantageous if your home is close to the Club’s primary venue of; Memorial Stadium, Filton Avenue BS7 0BF.

All family members over the age of 18 will be required to complete a DBS Enhanced Criminal Record Check with children’s barred list check.

Application process

If you feel you have a welcoming safe home environment to offer and would like to offer the opportunity to a progressing player please apply in writing to:

Hosts will be vetted and contacted regularly throughout the season.
