What should I look for?

Who runs it, and whether the clubs it names confirm they take part. What happens after the event, in writing. Total cost, including travel and accommodation for tours. Safeguarding arrangements, especially for residential tours with under-18s.

Professional club trials: Offered by invitation from the club's own staff, usually free. If in doubt, contact the club's academy directly.

How much do trials, tours & showcases cost?

Each provider sets its own prices, and they vary with the area, the age group and how often you go. So ask for a written price that says what is included and what the cancellation terms are.
