    Stoke City Football Club Trials.

    There are 9 Ways you can apply to get Trials for

    Stoke City Football Club at this age.

    All Football Clubs playing at this level not only

    have a first team, but they have a

    Reserve Team and number of Academy Teams,

    also known as Development teams.

    All these teams offer player Trials...

    Football Trials.....

    They will have an Academy structure in place

    normally run by an Academy Manager/Director who

    works closely with the First Team Manager and

    First Team Coaches.

    Clubs like this will have Academy Teams also

    known as Youth football teams.

    The Academy will oversee players from all ages,

    younger players will attend Soccer Schools

    working with Club trained Football Coaches who

    follow This Clubs strict playing style.

    Players then progress as they get older and are

    then signed to the Club from 9 years old.

    They will then compete against other similar

    Academies, and each year new Footballers are

    needed to fill team places that become available

    in the Academy teams.

    As Players reach 13, the rules change slightly, and

    players who live further away from this training ground

    can be signed to this Club. When players reach 16

    and over Players, are then signed on Contacts,

    either following a trial or by getting scouted.

    Get Signed by This Club

    As we said earlier there are 9 ways to get trials or

    signed by this Football Club.

    1 We are widely known as the source for obtaining the

    very latest football trial dates and opportunities for

    this Club and variety of Clubs.

    To get latest Football Trial dates we advise

    Step 2. Football Clubs like this, have a large scouting

    network that operate in the local area normally

    around 1 to 1 and a half hours of the Clubs training

    ground.

    So for step 2 please ensure you are playing for the

    very best Teams in your age group. By this I mean

    League Division 1 and regularly competing in Cup

    Finals as this is where this Clubs Scout, Scout Players.

    3. Scouts from this Club will watch County matches,

    County teams are Players who are the best players

    from that particular County. So if your of School age,

    speak with the Head of Football at Your School.

    4. Clubs at this Level have a foundation department,

    also known as Community Team they offer All

    players of most ages the chance, to engage in

    Football, and from this they select the better players

    to go for trials at the Clubs Academy of Excellence.

    Clubs hold Soccer School Holiday Schools, attend

    these also as the coaches are also scouting new

    players through this avenue as well.

    Also Remember David Beckham was Scouted

    at the Manchester United Soccer School.

    5. From the age of 16 Clubs also run a 2 year

    Education program which has direct links to

    the Club and prospective players are also sourced

    through this method. Any one can apply for these.

    If you sign up to us we will update you on this.

    6. Some Clubs say they do not hold open trials,

    well in fact ALL clubs hold trials, NO Player is ever

    signed without a trial, as the trial takes place in a

    variety of formats that suits the Club and the Player,

    which I have listed here.

    7. Some Clubs publish open Trial days of which

    we are made aware of and publish them on this

    site. If no open date is available then we recommend

    you sign up to us and receive the information when it

    is released to us. >> Sign Up For Trials

    8 Older players are normally scouted whilst playing

    for Local teams who are again playing in the highest

    league possible, so more advice is to ensure you are

    playing at your highest possible level.

    9. Like nearly all players You feel you will never

    get scouted or seen, then this step is the most

    important to you.ALL clubs allow you to Openly

    apply for a trial yourself.

    Please Now send your Personal football history

    along with your personal details direct to the Club

    along with a selection of your current team

    fixtures for the next 6 months. Then based on your
