Players in the CFC Player Development Pathway receive a full Chelsea PDP Training Kit.

Players that are confirmed for next season (September 2025) will receive their kit at the start of that season (The extra £66 sign up fee will need to be paid to receive this).

Please note that the monthly payments are prorated based on the amount of sessions over the year. Some months there may be more sessions than others months. However, the monthly payment is an average of all sessions over the year.
