PFSA UK Football Trials

Get scouted by the network that represents football scouts worldwide

Want to be seen by scouts? PFSA football trials give players the chance to show what they can do in front of our member scouts, who are connected with clubs across the Premier League, Championship, League One, League Two and non-league.

The PFSA represents football scouts worldwide, with thousands of members. We use that network to give young players a route into semi-professional and professional football.

Who will attend on the day

The more appropriate question to ask is who does not attend. We have a network of thousands of football scouts as members of the PFSA. We will have our co-founders and senior scouts at leading football clubs attending. All players highlighted on the day will then be sent to our network.

The PFSA also operates the UK’s largest independent team of football scouts through the PFSA Scouting Network. We represent teams directly through to the Premier League. Our trials will see over ten football scouts attend from this network alone.

The PFSA UK Football Trials events are held in and around the country. We have delivered world-class trials not only in the UK but also overseas. Take a look above to find the closest trials day near you.

What happens on the day

The PFSA open Football Trials are a full day event from 9am to 3pm. The AM consists of all ages coaching then as we move into the afternoon we start with the trial matches. Snacks and refreshments are available to buy on the day to rehydrate and fill up on that much needed energy boost.

Video Analysis

The PFSA Football Trials involve much more than a simple showcase event. The PFSA Coaches have and currently work for some of the top clubs in Europe. PFSA Lead Coach Dean Whitehouse currently works for Manchester United Academy and has overseen the development of some of the UK’s top talent, including Marcus Rashford, Scott Mctominay, Angel Gomez and Mason Greenwood, to name a few. We also use our match day footage to send to our partner clubs who couldn’t make it on the day, increasing your opportunities beyond the football trials day itself.
