Pro Football Trials
Welcome to Protec Centre of excelence, we are currently working with a premiership club and running an Elite centre looking for players 8-u16 who have the talent and may be of the level to send into the clubs academy for talent I.D trial games.
This is a unique opportunity for players to showcase thier talent in front of professional football scouts who will help prepare and coach selected players for trial.
We are accredited by the F.A and are one of the most established and successful providers of youth football in the UK.
Having over 25 years of experience in the football business our Elite player program has been set up to work closely with grass roots football clubs and the professional game. Our coaches are all UFEA qualified, DBS checked and hold club Academy scout Registrations.
Weekly coaching and trial sessions are attended by official club Academy scouts giving selected young players the possibility of trialling at a Professional Club academy in talent I.d games.
The Elite Centre is based in Hertfordshire and is open to all players that are willing to travel for trials and training. Your first initial trial with us is free, and if selected further sessions are at affordable standard session fee rate. This will not affect you playing for your Grass roots or schhol teams.
PROTEC FOUNDATION PHASE AGE6-8.
Especially for our younger age groups age 6-8 who are just starting out on their football journey and to improve their existing skills. You will work with our UEFA qualified and DBS checked coaches learning new skills such as ball mastery and small sided games go to courses tab and select Protec Foundation phase program.
See what Top Pros say about Protec Academy.
- Stan Collymore Ex Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa and Leicester City Striker
"Before the 'Wenger' - this man changed football myth, there was Pete Edwards. Introduced modern football fitness, nutrition into English game with NFFC '93. A bigger architect of promotion to 3rd in Prem than Clark, Pearce or me.
Pros, use him, he's the Godfather."
