10-Day Trials in England: Your Gateway to Professional ClubsTrials in England: Your Gateway to Professional Clubs

What is a 10-Day Trial?

Think of it as a boot camp for football. It’s a package from Premier Football UK that promises to do two things: give you a thorough assessment of your ability and bring you face-to-face with top scouts and coaches in England. If your goal is just to increase your chances at trials or you’re actively looking to secure an academy spot in a professional club, keep reading to find out how this program can help you.

What NOT To Expect At A 10-Day Trial.

Before we go into what you’ll gain during the program, let’s start with what not to expect. Trials are not automatic guarantees of sign-ups, i.e. participating doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be picked. However, there are ways to maximize this trial period and boost your chances of getting selected. We’ll discuss that shortly.

What To Expect At The Trial.

At our 10-day trial, there are four things to watch out for. First, we’ll carry out an in-depth assessment of your abilities and your foundation. The program is structured to help you understand your technical, and non-physical fitness levels, to be aware of the areas you need to improve.

Second, the program will feature intensive training and development sessions to challenge your current level. From advanced technical drills that’ll improve your game awareness and alertness, to real-game simulations that’ll sharpen your decision-making skills.

If you’re confused about your role on the field, this activity will help you as our coaches will work with a position-based approach, so that every knowledge is narrowed down.

Third, you’ll get to play full-length matches where you’ll practise everything you’ve learnt. Away from simulations, you’ll be employing both technical and non-technical skills at this point. This is also where our scouts from professional clubs in England will watch you play, so if you’re looking to get signed, this will be that moment to make it all count.

Also, expect detailed post-match feedback from your coaches to evaluate your performance. Again, we won’t just train you, but ensure that you get a step-by-step on what exactly to do to improve on.

From The Lens Of A Scout At The 10-Day Trial

Everybody wants to have the best, and scouts have their way of finding the best. Luckily we do too. Thanks to our years of experience in connecting players all over the world, we understand what exactly these scouts look for in new players.

  1. Technical skillsYour on-field skills are your most important assets during the 10-day trial. Scouts look for players who have mastered ball control, accurate passing, dribbling, and the big one, scoring goals. This is no time to be humble. Show your skills openly because you’re not sure who’s watching. But remember not to exaggerate. The rule is to impress the scouts simply by doing what is required of you.
  2. Physical fitness

    Your speed, your weight, and how much stamina did you have? Scouts pay attention to these things during football trials, so it’s an indication that you need to take them seriously as well. To check this box, commit at least an hour every day to improving your physical fitness before the program begins. It’ll help you build enough physical attributes to be considered.

  3. Mental toughness

    This one is quite tricky. You’ll make mistakes during the trials, but how you recover from them (and how fast your recovery is,). When you slip up, scouts look for signs of resilience and composure. This is important because as a player, you must learn to bounce back quickly as you’ll be doing a lot of that as an actual club footballer.
