What is in the pack
- How academy trials work, and how the club finds players. Who is there, what it costs, and how to spot a fake trial. Each club section uses only the club's own pages, with a source for every fact.
- A 1-page trial-day checklist. What to pack, when to arrive and what to ask.
- 4 short emails. They run from the week before the trial to the day after, so you know what to do at each step.
- What a yes, a no and a come back mean. Plus what you are signing if the club offers your child a place.
