A: No, we only work with players who do not current have an agent.

Q: Do you guarantee that I will tryout with a 1st division team in Europe?

Q: If I tryout will I be guaranteed to get a tryout in Europe?
A: No, we only provide tryouts for players that we feel are good enough and will have success as a professional soccer player.

A: You must have your own soccer shoes, socks, shorts, shirt, shin-guards, your own funds enough to cover 100% of your own tryout expenses, sufficient bottled water, and your own health insurance.
Q: What if I am under 18 years old?
A: Then you must wait until you are 18 to participate in our tryouts.
Q: What if I don’t make it?
A: It’s possible that we can find you another tryout or tryouts, but this is based on the request of the clubs and we may be able to offer you a position in our US based academy team. However, we provide no guarantees that you are good enough to play professional or even competitive soccer. We only make the connections for the players that we select.
