Turning Potential into Opportunity
With A Proven Pathway into the Professional Game
Our Trial Days give goalkeepers a unique opportunity to showcase their talent in front of scouts and recruitment staff from professional football clubs & The SPT Coaching Network — creating genuine pathways into academy and professional football.
We originally launched these events because we knew we had talented goalkeepers within our weekly sessions and residential camps who deserved greater exposure and opportunities. Goalkeepers like Xander, who represented Portsmouth and England before signing professionally with Wolves, are proof of what can happen when talent is seen in the right environment.
We understand how difficult it can be for goalkeepers to get noticed. Opportunities are limited, competition is high, and many talented keepers simply aren’t being seen. That’s why we created our Trial Days — to bridge that gap and provide goalkeepers with a platform to perform in front of professional clubs.
Since opening these events to all goalkeepers, we’ve built strong relationships with clubs across the country and have helped numerous keepers progress into academy and professional football.

We initially set up these days because we knew we had some very talented goalkeepers in our weekly sessions and residential camps, like Xander, who played for Portsmouth and England Under 15's last season and has just signed for Wolves.
We have since opened it to all goalkeepers and built great relationships with professional clubs. Since the inception of our trial days two years ago, we've been instrumental in turning the dreams of numerous goalkeepers into reality.
Three goalkeepers have been signed by Brighton, two each by Hull City and Reading, and one each by Portsmouth, Barnsley, Bristol City and Oxford United after being spotted at our trial days. The most recent one, Nottingham Forest signed Charlie in October after getting spotted on our trial day. Three of these goalkeepers, like Zach, have been called up to the England setup since signing. One keeper secured a scholarship at Colchester United, and Chelsea Ladies signed a girl after being identified at our trial days. These success stories are a testament to the opportunities we provide, even for those who might have thought their chance had gone.
All your child might need this opportunity, and they’ll have a great time doing it!
On the trial day, your child can showcase their talent and have fun doing it
