Important notes and FAQ’s
     (Please read carefully):

The combine will be played on TURF so please bring appropriate clothing and
footwear.
Please bring PLENTY of water to keep hydrated during the event (the facility
requests bottled water to be used on the Field, not sports drinks such as Gatorade
etc)
If you arrive before registration, please do not enter the field - we will give you
plenty of time to get warmed up before your game.
Players will be assigned positions based upon their registration form. If you would
like to showcase yourself in a different position, please let a PSC staff member
know, however, if you did not originally list it on your registration form we cannot
guarantee it.
Over the course of the three days, if you are late for your assigned games, this will
result in a reduction of playing time, please be sure to arrive on time.

What to Wear to the Tryout:

   White Tee Shirt / jersey
   Black Shorts
   Black Socks
   Shin Guards (compulsory!)

Each player will be assigned to a team and issued a
colored vest on day one and will keep the same number
for all three days.

Transport

 Players are responsible for their own transport to and
 from the airport and fields. PSC has partnered with
 Uber to offer our combine participants the cheapest
 transportation available.
 First-time users of the app will receive a free $5
 towards their first ride to further reduce costs. UberX is
 30% cheaper than a taxi and will take the stress out of
 traveling during the tryout.

Confirmed Coaches, Scouts
& Representatives

   PSC Company Directors hand-pick attending Tryout
     scouts and coaches, bringing together a group of
  experienced individuals who can not only assist with
placing and signing players, but also offer their wealth of
 elite knowledge and expertise to players in attendance.

  To see the most up to date list of attending coaches

What our Agency Staff, and attending
coaches, are looking for?

Players often ask what the Agency staff are looking for in a player.
First and foremost, we are looking for players who have technical,
tactical and athletic ability to play at the professional level.

Following that, we are looking for players who display professional
attitudes in terms of time-keeping, attitude on the field, attitude off the
field, ability to work with fellow team-mates and respect shown to
attending coaches and staff. Players who do not show the above will
not be recommended to professional clubs by Agency staff.

How to Impress a coach at a Pro
 Soccer Tryout?

Players often ask us what they can do to stand out and catch the eye of
attending coaches. It is a tough question to answer definitively, as football
is a game of opinions and every coach looks for something different in the
players they sign.

If you ask people for their top 5 players in the world and you will get a
variety of answers. It is the same at a PSC combine as each of the
coaches evaluating players will have a different opinion and be looking for
different qualities in the players they see at a tryout.

However, we can certainly give players basic advice on do’s and don’ts
during the tryout based on what we have witnessed over the last 11 years
of running try-outs. All of these have happened at previous events….

Ways to make a Bad
Impression

•   Turn up late
•   Spend more time moaning at the referee than playing
    the game
•   Get in to fights and arguments with players around you
•   Get in to fights and arguments with coaches
•   Text or email the coaches or staff asking for a ride to
    the fields
•   Refuse to follow instructions given to you by the coach

Ways to make a good
impression

•   Work hard on the field both attacking and defending
•   Follow instructions covered in this information pack
•   Follow instructions given to you during the tryout by
    coaches and by PSC staff
•   Arrive on time to the event
•   Work well and co-operate with the players around you
    on the field
•   Remember you are being judged for your character as
    much as your ability

What happens after the
           Tryout?

After the Tryout one of four outcomes will follow:
1. Selected to sign or trial with an attending club (can involve immediate travel to
    outside of USA so please be ready to accept an opportunity like that)
2. Recommended to trial or sign with a non-attending club through PSC Agency staff
    recommendation (can involve immediate travel to outside of USA so please be
    ready to accept an opportunity like that)
3. Considered for PSC’s European Showcase where players will get to test themselves
    against professional opposition and showcase to further coaches around the world
    in a high-level professional environment.
4. Not considered ready for the professional level at this time and provided an
    individual feedback sheet with guidance direct from the coaches.

Players will be contacted by PSC staff within 14 days of the event informing them of their outcome.
Regardless of outcome, EVERY player will be contacted via email so please be sure to add the domain name
@pscltd.co.uk to your safe senders list or check your junk folder daily following the tryout.
