Schulz Elite Showcase Squad
Trials now open — U9 & U10, 2026/27 season
Schulz Elite Showcase Squad Trials
A select squad of just 14 players per age group, trialling now for U9 and U10 ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The squad trains and plays on Wednesdays, so there is no conflict with your child’s grassroots team — players get academy-standard coaching and competitive exposure without giving up their Saturday or Sunday club.
Places are strictly limited and awarded on performance and attitude at trial. Every squad is led by UEFA B qualified coaches and includes two goalkeepers.
