How do you go about getting a football trial for a young player?
Mу son wаntѕ tο play fοr a scottish youth football team such аѕ Hearts, Hibs, Rangers, Celtic οr аnу οf thеm really Hе wаѕ scouted іn before bυt left due tο аn unfair coach whο mаdе hіѕ life a misery.
It can be hard without being scouted. When I wanted to play overseas I had someone film some games I played, then place highlights on one video. I then sent them to a number of clubs, address it to either the scout or youth team manager. I know that coaches can be harsh on young players on trial, but its all part of the process to see if they will cope playing at such a high, physically and mentally demanding level.
I was offered a trial with Grenock Morton in Scotland and Hartlepool in England, unfortunately I couldn’t go because of a career ending injury.
Excellent luck, hope to see your son in the hoops one day!
Celtic and rangers run summer football schools,these are attended by not only young footballers but also scouts from other teams,ring the clubs for info,or go on to their web pages.
