A trial is a test where football players show their skills to coaches and scouts to try and join a club. Players take part in training, practice games, and physical tests. This helps clubs see how good the players are and decide if they should join the team
What is a Trial?
Types of Trials
There are several types of trials in football, each giving you different opportunities to showcase your talents. Understanding these can help you prepare better and increase your chances of success.
-
Open Trials: These trials are open to any player who wishes to participate. They are usually organized by smaller clubs or academies looking to discover hidden talents.
-
Invite-Only Trials: Players are invited based on their reputation or previous performances. These trials are common among larger clubs with a specific interest in certain players.
-
Event and Showcase Trials: Organized by agencies or specialized companies, these trials bring together multiple clubs' scouts to observe players in a central location. They offer a platform for players to showcase their talents to a wider audience.
How to Secure a Trial
Players usually secure trials through various means. Some are scouted during matches or tournaments, where scouts from clubs identify potential talent.
Others may get trials through football academies or agents who have connections with clubs.
Additionally, players can apply directly to clubs, by sending their CV and highlight videos.
Networking and personal connections in the football community can also play a significant role in getting trial opportunities.
How to Secure an International Trial
Most players are spotted during international tournaments or by scouts working abroad. Unfortunately, not everyone is lucky enough to be seen or play for clubs that participate in international tournaments. As a result, securing an international trial can be very challenging for many talented players.
