Answers to questions

Will my child get spotted by Manchester United and become a Manchester United player?

The main focus on every Manchester United Soccer Schools course is that all children achieve success regardless of ability. Players will not be scouted on Manchester United Soccer Schools courses. However, we hope that everybody will leave the course knowing how to become a better player.

How can I get a trial with the Academy?

Manchester United has a scouting network to identify talented youngsters. Players need to make an impression for their local club/team. You cannot apply for a trial through Manchester United Soccer Schools.

Will my child’s performance on the pitch be improved?

It is our aim for every child to gain success at their individual level. Our coaching staff are specifically trained to pass on how Manchester United train their youngsters. Our specially designed coaching aids help improve the skill levels in all children.

What are the chances of meeting a player?

It is unlikely that the players will be able to attend soccer camps because of their busy training and match schedule. However we always endeavour to get as much exposure to the first team and the club as possible.

My child is attending on his/her own, will he/she be ok?

Yes, the majority of players attend without friends and family. Individuals will be placed in groups with players of the same age who are also on their own. The first session of every course is focused on making new friends. These “ice-breaker” sessions are designed to help all individual players integrate to form a team.

What qualifications and checks do your staff have?

Get Scouted, all our staff are UEFA/FA qualified and have been checked by the Criminal Records Bureau and AIM as well as high security checks. Manchester United Soccer Schools is committed to the safety and welfare of all children attending our courses and has a Child Protection Policy in place. On all our courses there is a minimum of 2 qualified first-aiders. The Club also has a Child Safety Officer who is in direct contact with Manchester United Soccer Schools.

Where can I find more information on child protection?

Millions of children have access to the internet. It is now central to how they stay in touch with their friends and family. However the internet is also a public place and while bringing many benefits and opportunities, also opens up new risks and challenges. That’s why MUSS has teamed up with the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre.
