Featuring up to 200 individual players (aged 18-20) from EFL, Premier League and National League clubs, it’s a chance to unearth a gem and start recruiting early from the hundreds determined to find a route back into the professional game.
Registration
The date for both scout and player registration opening will be announced in due course.
Once players have registered, further information and venue details will be sent via email when a place has been allocated, this will be no earlier than 22nd April 2025.
Player Eligibility
To be eligible for the Assessment Trials a player must fulfil all elements in either of the two criteria detailed in the Player Eligibility Policy.
LFE Contact Information Sharing Policy
LFE has created a Contact Information Sharing Policy in order to facilitate and monitor official and genuine opportunities. All scouts and agents are advised to familiarise themselves with this policy before attending the trials.
SQWAD for Scouts
Once again, the assessment trials will be run with the help of The SQWAD. We will be using their app SQWAD SCOUT to provide the player data digitally. This is being done in an effort to increase accuracy and efficiency as the data will be available real-time for everyone that participates. We encourage every scout to download the app via the App Store or Google Store, and after creating your user account you can use the code ‘LFE150‘ to get access to all the scouting services. This code will give scouts access to a rich library of services for 5 months free of charge.
Download The SQWAD app:
SQWAD SCOUT will provide the following for the Trials:
- Player profile

- Team sheets
- Match report
