Where scouts watch
  • The academy overview describes players from the local and surrounding area. It does not give a precise recruitment boundary.
If a scout calls
  1. Use the official club contact to confirm who sent the invitation.
  2. Ask for the programme, age group, venue and dates in writing.
  3. Ask when feedback will be given and how training fits around school.
Watch out

What to check before you agree

The August 2017 open trial announcement is a past event. Its dates and contacts are not a current booking route.
The overview refers to development from age eight and academy production from age nine. Ask which programme applies to your child.
