UK Football Trials are officially the world’s largest and most successful trials company – with over 210,000 registered players in over 150 countries, we run more trail events and place more players into pro and semi pro club football trials than anyone else. We are the proud holders of the “FEEFO Gold Trusted Merchant award” for 5 years in a row by achieving 96% good or excellent independent reviews from our customers.
We exist because although the UK has one of the best scouting networks in the world, if you are not part of, or get released from the pro / semi pro club system. it can be incredibly hard to get (back) into it. Players get hugely frustrated – sending CV’s and videos to clubs very rarely leads to a trial simply because the clubs get so many of them. Sadly, many clubs do not even consider any football trial applications that come direct from players. People often say that “if you are good enough you will be seen” – this is not our experience. Certainly, if you are a striker scoring 2-3 goals every game you may attract attention but very often you are relying on a scout watching your game looking for a player in your position with your style of play and, if that’s not hard enough, you need to be playing well enough in the match they are watching to stand out. Is it any wonder that players who are good enough are regularly missed?
By getting multiple scouts (always between 10-15 from Premier League to semi pro level) to all our football trial events we move the odds in your favour. All these scouts are looking for players and we give you more time to impress in both a training and match scenario. We are not saying it will be easy, and we certainly cannot promise you will be scouted, (nobody can do that!) but we are saying that those of you who think you are good enough will have a genuine chance to show it and impress multiple scouts in a quality training and match environment.
Our results prove the system works:
Our website has a HUGE success stories section now featuring over 400 examples of your successes and our facebook and Instagram both feature regular weekly updates on players given opportunities at clubs – you will not find other football trials companies who can do this! We have countless interviews from scouts, coaches, players and parents which you can watch and were used for the BBC programme “One Day That Changed My Life”. We were featured experts in the national press including the Daily Telegraph article “Rise of the Rogue Agents”, and we were used as a recruitment partner for Red Bull Tv’s “Streets Don’t Lie” documentary. We were also featured on ITV National News where our players were interviewed.
Off the back of players loving the experience of our 1 day trial events, we have also created a 5 day camp experience which allows us to teach players for 4 days the skills to help you get scouted which they can put into practise on day 5 in our extended trial.
UK Football Trials have built up a scouting network which covers a huge network of clubs in the UK as well as contacts in countries across the world. It is the quantity of scouts across divisions from the Premier League to semi pro we have at our football trial events that provide the opportunities for players – we have interviewed many of them and send you their best advice free to help give you the maximum chance of being successful!
