About PRO11
Simple, practical guidance on what to eat, when to eat, and how to recover
ABOUT US
The idea for Pro11 Trials began around 2015, after our Directors visited some paid trials as a customer and immediately thought - we could do this better!
After 2 years of speaking to like-minded coaches, parents and scouts, and after lots of planning and research, we began to set up our first trial dates in Manchester, during the summer of 2018.
Encouraged by the success we had, and the positive responses from customers and scouts, we then looked to develop our services until we had a format we felt we could replicate successfully. We now host trials in 12 different locations throughout England and Wales - and there will be more venues to come!
We’ve also branched out to offering trials not just for our main demographic (u8-u15) but for u16-u21 players with our Open Age Events, and new for 2026, Pre-Academy showcases for players aged 6 and 7, and a Girls Specific event.
Our Principles
Everything we do at Pro11 Trials is based on 3 principles:
- A genuine opportunity for any child to be viewed by scouts.
- A friendly, low-pressure environment which encourages young players to perform to the best of their ability.
- Transparency in everything that we do.
FA Guidelines & Staff Standards
Whilst we aren't required to be FA registered we do follow FA guidelines in all of our operations. All our staff are qualified coaches with DBS clearance, First Aid trained, and with experience of playing professionally, working for a professional academy, or working as a scout for a professional club.
Our Promise
We can't guarantee the outcome - but we can guarantee the opportunity!
