    SOUTHAMPTON FOOTBALL TRIAL

    How to get a Football Trial with professional football club Southampton?

    Southampton Fooyball Trials....
    are similar to the majority of professional football clubs. They
    have a network of football scouts who  generally work directly for Southampton FC on a local, national, and international basis, as well as other contacts.

    The scouts look at players from the age under 6 up to professional adult level they will make recommendations on players like you that we may consider to invite for a trial.

    How can I be sure that football talent has not been overlooked, am I too old?

    Southampton FC together with lots of football clubs literally thousands of scouts representing the various clubs, if you have the required level of ability, the chance of being spotted is high. The scouts of Southampton may or may not be wearing club branded clothing. Many people don't think they have ever had a scout at their games when in fact just the opposite could be true.

    Can I be invited to an open trial?

    At present it is not Southampton policy to hold specific open trials. We always watch players at their local club/school based on recommendations before inviting them in for trial.

    I have waited years to be spotted, should I give up?

    Within reason it's never too late. Some players mature later than others, and lots of top class professionals have entered the game at a relatively late stage. Keep playing the highest standard of football possible, and never give up hope, above all always try your best as you never know who is watching!

    It is important to note that any Southampton Football Club Scout that approaches a player will have appropriate ID. Any approach from someone purporting to be from the club, but who does not have sufficient ID should not be taken seriously.

    If you are approached and are unsure of the validity of the approach, please email the club at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and someone will be in touch as soon as possible.

    Due to the high levels of correspondence we receive, we are unable to enter into communication and respond to everyone. Please do not repeatedly contact us, as we will keep your trial request on our files and will either be in touch or come along to one of your games if we feel you have the qualities and skills we require.
