CRADLEY Town are set to start an academy next month which will cater for players from Under-7s right through to open age.
Trials are set to start in February for all age groups. They'll even be a mini-Hammers section.
The Beeches View Avenue based club are urging the local community to come and get involved.
Cradley Town assistant manager Wayne Mundon will be running the academy. Further details are available on the club's website.
Unlucky Cradley had their trip to Shropshire side Ellesmere Rangers called off on Saturday owing to the wet weather.
They hope for better luck this Saturday when they entertain second placed Wolves Sporting Community.
Cradley boss Andy Wyton has a full squad to select from with the exception of top marksman Geoff Hill who is currently serving a two match ban.
But Wyton revealed Hill could face further punishment following an additional referee's report.
