About Us
Created by Sam Bennett, a scout with experience working for a category one Academy and also two national sides, Potential Pro Trials offer players aged between 5-21yrs old the fantastic opportunity to be scouted by professional clubs. By providing the best environment for players to show their talent and ability, Potential Pro ensures the chance of players getting scouted is at its highest.
The sessions are coached by UEFA qualified coaches who have either played professionally themselves or worked in academy football. The coaches will put on engaging academy level sessions that focus on what professional scouts look for. Each session will finish with a match allowing the players to showcase their ability in a game setting. With many future dates planned across the U.K, Potential Pro aims to give each participant a chance of achieving their dreams. Will you be the next Potential Pro?

A typical day at a Potential Pro Trial
Step one
Welcomed by Potential Pro staff who will register your attendance and issue you with an individually numbered bib so that scouts can easily identify you. Please arrive around 15-20 minutes before your designated time slot. Scouts will be provided a sheet with numbers and player details.
Step two
Once the time slot has begun, players will be separated into their age groups with their designated coach for the trial. Parents will be able to view from the stands/viewing area as the trial commences.
Step three
The players will start with warm ups and progress onto academy level technical and tactical sessions with an emphasis on drills showcasing what professional scouts look for. There will be regular drink breaks throughout the session for the players.
Step four
The players will take part in an age appropriate match lasting up to an hour. The 16-19 age group will play 11v11 on a full size pitch. This is the highlight of everyone's day and also what scouts look at closely when making their final decision on a player.
Step five
Once the trial has finished, we will be in contact with parents/players who have been successfully scouted. For those who have purchased a personalised professional scout report these will be sent in 3-5 working days. Please stay in contact after the trial in regards to your progress, or contact us with any feedback - info@potentialprotrials.com. For anything further please see our FAQs below.
