Football Academy Regulations in England

Under 9 to Under 13 players who live outside restricted time and distance zones are not eligible for a trial.
Premier League Rules for players outside UK
Here are stringent Rules and Regulations set by the Premier League for trials for boys born OUTSIDE UK ONLY.
In summary: The earliest time a boy can attend an Academy for assessment is at the start of his under 14 season.
We are obliged to include restrictions on suitability - that a boy can only trial if he is recommended by one of our scouts or contacts, after being watched or attended a trial, or has sent his CV and has receive a direct response from the club to attend a trial. If he is deemed suitable for assessment he still cannot register for an Academy unless he resides within 1½ hour of its base - even then the boy must not be moving into the area for that purpose i.e. it can only be for family and not football reasons e.g. maybe the parent(s) moves jobs / positions to enhance his/her career.
66% OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE COME FROM OVERSEAS
If the boy is an EU/EEA citizen then he can sign as a Scholar aged 16, not before.
If the boy is not an EU/EEA citizen then the earliest he can sign is aged 18 and even then it is dependent upon eligibility for a Work Permit.
General advice is to apply for trials and send your CV to the clubs and attend trials if outside the UK, this gives you experience and can be added to your CV. Regards invitation letters, these are sent out after you have attended the trial, if you meet the high football standards.
APPLY FOR TRIALS
Many of the players from overseas, apply for trials, then attend the trial on a holiday, or temporary visa. Then if you are good enough an invitation football trial letter will then be sent afterwards providing you meet the criteria above. Our advice is do not pay large amounts of money on the promise of a professional contract.
