NFR scouting trails

[TheDaddy]

I need some help folks,

As some of you no i used to do a some what laid back report on a team called Redbrick in which my youngest son played.

Well his now 17 6ft 1" 10 stone of lurch why im saying this i dont no !

Back to help  : i went on line and left details to two companies i suppose you would call them ! Who basically run football trails and pick the best players , show case them on video.Then distribute them to football clubs.

AM I WASTING MY TIME AND MONEY "DO THEY REALLY SEND THEM OUT" or is it just a money spinner ?

Are there any other ways ?

Cheers ....

I'd be very wary of them, how much are they charging? I saw a programme about young African players paying for trials in France, no surprise it was being run by Nigerians, and the kids ended up with no money. If it's only a tenner or so you could perhaps just chalk it up to experiance if it's a scam, if it's a lot of dosh give it a swerve. I'm sure if your boy is good enough he'll soon be scouted, perhaps he has already without you knowing. Either way all the best  :54:

Enough money to be a kick in the gonads if it a scam. Nice money for them if they can get a good few turning up.

As Fred said I'd be very wary of them mate.

Best thing to do is send him to some open trials that teams have nowadays. Normally for the smaller clubs across the league, Barnet etc.... 100% more trustworthy and you won't lose any money.

17 is slightly above the maximum age for youth scouting at league matches, so it's unlikely he will be picked up on just a 'routine' check.
