**LETTER FROM SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY**
This is by way of a courtesy message to the League.
Here at Sheffield Wednesday Academy we are taking steps to offer teams from your League the opportunity to have an hours training with our senior coaches (Tuesday evenings 7pm to 8pm). We will be commencing with the SWFC Young Owls and Under 16s "A" Division. I will get in touch with the Clubs concerned myself.
Despite the inevitable (healthy!) sceptism that there will be suggesting that we are looking to take players - this is not the objective, it is to offer training to your players giving them the opportunity to use first class facilities.
Best wishes to both the League and yourself
