Gillingham have offered professional contracts to five of their youth players.
Goalkeeper Daren Hawkes, defenders Jack Evans and Callum Davies, plus midfielders Alex Brown and Tom Brunt are all second-year youth-team scholars.
Gills boss Andy Hessenthaler told the club's official website: "This is a really strong group of players, there are good ones in the year below, and the year below them are even stronger.
"I am a manager what likes to bring through youngsters, that's what we did with Matt Jarvis and Andrew Crofts. If they are good enough they will get their chance."
