Pro11 Trials Opiniones 

I attended the London trials this week with my son. The organisation and communication was good. No issues at all with that part. However the most important part of the day was the trial and I felt that the drills were incredibly basic, boring and went on too long until changing to a new drill.
The match session lasted an hour and this too showed where Pro11 fell short of another big trial company day we have attended (we booked both at the same time). During the match the teams were incredibly uneven. My son had two very poor players in his team and this was so obvious to anyone watching. He barely got a look in as the other team dominated. In the other trial he attended they constantly changed players about to give them an opportunity to play with different players. Here they had the same teams for an hour. Also, the kids all had to rotate into goal which I also thought was unfair as that’s 10 minutes of time they’re losing to show their stuff. My son was scouted by three clubs at the other trial company and none at this event. There was no real opportunity for him I felt. We only came to this event after the other one as we had paid for both already. I felt that the coach my son had looking after their age group lacked coaching knowledge and this was evident on the feedback we got. Complex drills is where you spot the players that can retain information and have the talent to move fast with good technical ability. My son attends Elite footballing sessions and the drills are fantastic. I expected this level at the trials. The drills were basic passing and then going to the back of the line.

There were some big clubs there however I felt that more would’ve been better. That said, the amount of scouts there wasn’t an issue at all. If the drills were better and there was more coach involvement in the main game then it would massively improve this. I feel there was some great little players there and they’ll have been missed due to the set up.

No bad feelings really just an honest review. Especially as we’ve attended another scouting event recently with a different company I felt being able to compare was very valid.

Very well organised event with great communication. Very welcoming to both parents and children. Coaches are experienced and put on some brilliant drills, with fantastic encouragement for all children. A very good range of scout from all level in attendance at every venue we have entered. Recieving a decision on the day from the scouts before you leave is great as you are not waiting on a decision for weeks. If you are not successful, coaches are willing to give feedback on what inviduals need to improve on.

My Daughter attended a trail over the weekend and her and her dad were very impressed with the set up. She really enjoyed the day and the staff were amazing. She came away from the trail very happy!

Well organised, great platform for players to be noticed.

Event is well organised. Staff are very polite and clear with instructions and queries. The players were made to feel welcome and also put at ease. The one to one feedback offered to players at the end of the trial was very important for them and provided good insight to how they performed and areas they could improve.

My son recentley went to the Midlands Trials, It was a very good set up , everything down to trianing, scouts and first aid was explained on arrival . The trianing was very good and the scouts that attended were very fair and watched all age groups. Kids had plenty of drink breaks and were looked after. I can't fault pro 11 even down to before trials if i had a issue it was resolved/ answered within the hour. All the staff/team at pro 11 were great , The free tea and coffee was the stealer for us ! lol . My son had serveral interest from a few scouts and we were told at the end who and what to do. The kids that didnt make it this time were made to feel good and positive and to keep going. The coach offers you to go and get feedback at the end also which I thought was great. Overall id defo recommened booking pro11 if you are on the fence , I can't fault them. Only thing id say is if going to midlands trials go early to avoid dissapointment within parking as there isnt much space ! But again other then that I'm Team Pro 11!!!

Pro11staff are so helpful. This is my second time at their trials. Everything is well organised with enough scouts for every level. The best thing is you know at the end of Trial whether you been scouted.Pro11 is a genuine organisation.Pro11 is good value for money as compared to other Football trial company.

Amazing customer service!!!
Very prompt response with the best possible solution!
I am recomanding this trial!
Great experience for us and our son !

Can highly recommend Pro11 Trials. I have a 16 year old son who has never really had the opportunity to be seen by a scout so decided to give it a go. The youngsters were split into appropriate age groups and put through some good training routines and a game. There were about a dozen scouts present from numerous clubs ranging from Accrington Stanley to Everton. This resulted in my son being scouted by Sheffield Wednesday which he was ecstatic about!
So if your wondering wether to give it a try definitely do, they are 100% genuine in putting kids in front of scouts and promoting there progression in football, yes your child has to perform but pro trials give them the platform. Also mention for Nicola who organisers and follows up contact etc who was superb. Thank you protrials!

My son attended the pro 11 trials recently and had interest from 2 clubs. I thought the whole set up was organised really and it provided kids across all ages with an opportunity to impress. Every kid was provided with feedback from the coaches at the end of the session which was really good to see.

The coaches were great on the day which consisted of 1 hour for drills and 1 hour for matches.

I would definitely recommend parents/guatdians to take their kids to pro11 trials.

Beneficial.

The trial was well organised and ran to schedule.
The session itself was testing and it gives an true insight to the demands of academy training.
My son wasn’t selected, however both my son and I had no issue with that, as we both understood and agreed with the feedback Matthew gave us.
We are looking forward to the next trials.

I loved it!
I would love to thank you for the opportunity to play in front of scouts
Even though I was not able to give my best with the weather conditions, the retrial overall was well organised

Good experience!! definitely recommend if you are capable enough and believe you can play at an academy level

My daughter attended a trial event at the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed the training, drills and games. The coach was great and spent quality time with all the girls. The scouts came over and interacted with the girls too, giving some sound advice. All in all was a great experience for her. A big thanks to all involved

All the staff were friendly and professional through out the day. They offered support for the players and parents.

12 scouts arrived. All successful players were told at the end of the trial

Good training drills well communicated and all players involved were given constructive critics.

This is not a hoax as I have experienced with other companies.
I would absolutely recommend Pro-11 Trials. Its Bloody Worth it.

Was not impressed by the trial day, my son and many others, were grouped with 15 year olds, he plays under 13, we could hear the bigger boys saying just push the smaller one out of the way, the younger kids stood no chance at all, I will not book a trial with this company again, as my son was so intimidated, he was crying and wanting to quit football.

Never gain!!!!!

Wasn’t too impressed with pro 11.
We went took our six year old to a trial because he consistently wins man of match, top goal scorer etc.
It was definitely a mistake. Children at this age are grouped with children up to ten years old at least.
Pro 11 will tell you this happens in academies.
As a parent of a child already in an academy … this is completely false.
A six year old would never be competing and playing with ten year olds.
It is extremely hard for a six year old to compete against a ten year old as they obviously have an advantage of experience, height, strength and speed.
If you have a ten year old it might be worth bringing them to this as they are bound to stand out against six year olds.
I would expect my son to stand out if he was playing against three and four year olds.
It was ridiculous to watch to be honest.
I would not recommend this for younger kids at all.

Overall my son enjoyed the experience, the drills were as expected and he said were fun but he became frustrated during game time, this is where i feel the coaches should have been more involved rather than leaving it to be a free for all and maybe oversee the goalie being changed to allow everyone an opportunity to showcase themselves. U7/8/9/10 left to sort themselves out just didn’t work, maybe would have worked better to group u7/8 and u9/10 together instead in smaller sided games, this would allow more playing time for everyone in my opinion

Updated - no we weren’t advised of any staff shortages on the day and this certainly impacted on the less aggressive boys play, 1 poor lad was dumped in goal for the whole first half and during the 2nd half the scouts weren’t even watching that group.

Great experience. The whole trial was really well organised and the coach was so supportive and put the boys through some really good drills. 4 scouts showed an interest so well worth it!

My U11 son attended Pro11 talent ID I was very impressed how organised the team. What I loved about it was finding out on the day whether the players were successful or not and the fact you can speak to the scout if successful. I was so excited when I learnt my son was selected by Crystal Palace and Leyton Orient. Looking forward to seeing what the future holds. I would recommend Pro11 as it’s a big step to getting scouted.
