Trials vary from club to club depending on how much freedom is given to each coach.
Most coaches will conduct drills to test basic technique in addition to having small sided games.
Most trials are conducted over 4-6 sessions.
Players are usually notified by telephone or mail if they have been selected for the final squad.
Hope this helps...

I think having a go is a good idea. After all there are no consequences if he decides not to pursue.
By attending he will learn something about himself, his skills, and maybe make a new friend or two. If he doesn't get selected then it is not the end of the world. Many players will attend trials at 2 or 3 different clubs during the trial period making it tricky for clubs to select a squad.
Some clubs will select loyal players irrespective of ability whilst others will consider a players proximity to the ground a factor in addition to ability, potential, sponsors, siblings already playing or trialling, etc.
Good luck with it.

Is it true that some clubs charge a fee for the trials?
Some clubs may charge a trial fee of up to $50 which may include a ball and a trial t-shirt for example. Should the player make the final squad a club may use the trial fee to be offset against the season fees.
I think the purpose behind this is to limit players from trialling at several clubs. Quite often a coach/club will choose their final squad only to be told by several players who made the squad that they were selected in the final squad of another preferred team. The coach/club then has to contact players that they would have initially rejected.

good point Drusetta, seems a bit steep ($50.00) although i agree in principle, can imagine a lot of frustration around at these events.
Surely the best way is if the player does not secure his/her spot within a week financially (if selected) then they are not dedicated to playing for that club anyway.
Wouldn't it be a case of picking the best player for the position required ?
Ie. Why pick 3 'keepers if you only have 1 team in that age group, or more importantly, which one shows the best attitude and ability to progress/develop. Not just "The Best" player.
Lets face it a team of David Beckhams who be crap
(heard he is a crap 'keeper anyway)

I agree. In my opinion $50 is a bit steep but a nominal fee of say $10-20 which would be offset against season fees may be enough to discourage certain players "doing the rounds" when it comes to trialling.
Some clubs do have a condition of 50% of season fees is due prio to commencement of pre-season to gain commitment from those players (parents) selected.
You're right in nominating attitude and potential as key factors possibly over and above current skill and talent. Unfortunately some players come with a lot of baggage including over ambitious parents, over committed with other interests, logistical problems, selfish agendas etc.
Given the right attitude and potential, many coaches will choose the reliable, loyal players over a newcomer who may have shown greater skill during trials. Part of a coach's role during trials is to talk with newcomers and their parents to get a better indication of their passion for the game.
Marcello Lippi in a recent interview said that a coach should allow the skills and attributes of the "best" squad available (the term "best" is used loosely here) to dictate the formation, and not the coach to force his own formation on the personnel. Makes sense to me.
In terms of goalkeepers, I always keep an open mind and tend towards choosing (at club level) one goalkeeper plus one back-up player who has the ability to fill in just in case. It is frustrating for goalkeepers and their parents to get half a game every week for an entire season.

How ridiculous to charge children to trial......in some areas there are 40+ children trying to get one of 15 spots.
These children must do the rounds as there are no assurances as to whether or not they will be picked in a team.
No question, financial contribution should be made to ensure your spot is held but to charge children for simply trying to get into a team is ridiculous!

You pay to trial in other sports - comes off the fees if you are successful, and is returned if you are not. You only forfeit your fees if you are selected and withdraw without good reason.
Is reasonable to reward the time and effort put in by the club, and hopefully will get the commitment of the triallist, who can always shop around if they wish to pay the price.
Even so, I think $50 is a bit steep.

Blue Eagles have charged a fee of $50 for the past 2 years at trials.gremio wrote:Which clubs charge a fee to trial, i don't know of any.
If the player makes the squad then $50 comes off the fees.
If the player doesnt make the squad, then they lose $50, but they do get a $5 tee-shirt and a $10 soccer ball.
Sounds like a money making excersise to me !
