think it would be more organised than this way?

I think that sounds like a great idea. Much more organized.

Yeah, go for it NBP! You always were the organizational guru with all that jazz. Sorry for throwing your delicates in with the colours washing, I know that wasn't smart now... But you look good in pink! : D

No offense but if you need contacts to get into a football club, you probably don't have the footballing ability required. Time spent looking for contacts would be better spent practicing.

I disagree. I think contacts are important as they can help u get a trial with different teams! Although obviously you will still need the required footballing ability.

Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia) are holding open trials for players born between 1993-1997 on April 26-30th at their youth academy training center in Zagreb. And in case anyone asks as long as your age eligible you can attend, it doesn't matter what country you are from.

Info on how to register, and the schedule for the trials http://www.nogometnaskola-dinamo.hr/eng ... emy-Trials

They will also be holding a couple of camps in California and Toronto in the summer (under the Camps section)

Luton Town will be holding open trials for players born before September 1, 1995 on May 23-24th, 2011.

Its £70 for the trial and they prefer the players have EU passports because of the obvious foreign restrictions in the UK for non-EU players.

Arsenal, do you know if "the northen alliance" league one, is of good quality, and how many leagues it is from the blue square? I've been offered to play for Chemfica Indepenedent by the Chairman, it will be at a higher standard than my current team, but I might try even higher if that is possible. Could you tell me a bit about the league if you know anything?

After a 20 second google search i'm pretty sure this is just an amatuer league with no progression to the conference what so ever.

Also your team Chemfica are currently top of the third division.

Yeah its in the 12th division, so 6-7 divisions below the Blue Square Premier, BSN/BSS.

As Scotty said I'm sure its amateur league I doubt you'd be paid anything. I would look for something at a higher level.

Thanks mates, I will look for teams in my area from that list you provided arsenal, and join the highest one, get a experience at a higher level, playing with players who have been at pro clubs in the past, and then may go to some open trials this time next year if not spotted before then.
