- YouthPlayers is aimed at all players between the ages of 8-16 who believe they have the ability and potential to earn a trial or contract at an academy or centre of excellence.
Players who have previous trial experience are often at an advantage in terms of gaining invites. However, all of our club contacts are open minded and will consider all players who have an impressive player profile. - What are Player Recommendations?
- The YouthPlayers 'Player Recommendation' service is our new member only beneift.
Members are able to request a personal recommendation to one of our Partner Clubs, free of charge. Application forms can be downloaded in the Members Area of the website.
Once the application is completed, YouthPlayers will produce a full Player Profile and forward it to a suitable club scout for consideration. Players are then informed via YouthPlayers staff whether they have been successful in gaining a trial placement. - Am I guaranteed to be offered a trial?
- YouthPlayers offers a platform from which you can promote yourself to our partner club scouts and other visting club contacts. We are unable to guarantee that all players who join the site will be offered a trial.
If you have the talent we will do our utmost to ensure you are considered for a trial placement. However the final decision ultimately rests with the football club themselves. - Do you run events or trial days?
- We have previously run a number of Scout Open Days. However, we feel that this route has not been overly successful in terms of players receiving trial invites.
When 22 players, who are strangers to each other, are put on a pitch in such pressured conditions, it does not allow the player sufficient time to impress and demonstarte their abilities.
In place of these events we have launched our 'Player Recommendation' service which we believe offers players the best chance to be considered for trial placements by scouts and club contacts. - How much does it cost to join YouthPlayers?
- A 12 month subscription to YouthPlayers costs £12.99
We only accept payment via our secure online payment system with PayPal, the world's leading online transfer company.
Our 'Player Recommendation' service is FREE to apply for (providing you are a member). A management fee of £40 is payable only if a player is successful in gaining a trial. - Who are Football Network Ltd?
