OUR SUCCESS
STORIES

CR1_soccer_trials_logo_shield_grey
Having been scouted by Colin personally as a young player, I would without doubt recommend The CR1 UK Football Trials and Residential Camps especially if you believe you have the talent and are good enough to make it as a professional player! These trials and residential camps are a really great opportunity to ‘showcase your talent’  and to have the chance of being coached by Colin and his team of top coaches will be an experience in itself. You will also be seen by many scouts and that may be just the opportunity you need to help you on the way to becoming a ‘pro’ footballer, Good luck!

Michael Kightly

WOLVES FC, BURNLEY FC, STOKE CITY FC and England (U21)

I scouted Michael whilst I was working for Tottenham Hotspur FC when he was just 12 years of age. As a player he had lots of ability and would go past players with ease however he was quite ‘light’ and needed to develop physically before he would be able to make an impact within the professional game. He was quite quick and could beat players for fun when running at them. He obviously had a ‘mental’ toughness and was very resilient and determined and because of these qualities he went on to achieve every boys dream of playing Premier League football and representing England at U/21 level.

Even though we were playing ‘non league‘ football in the Blue Square North division, I went on record saying when interviewed by Sky Sports News that I believed Dwight was a player capable of playing ‘top’ flight football and by that I mean he would one day play in The Premier League which he has done with both Crystal Palace FC and his current side  Newcastle United FC.

Reid Tips Gayle for Success

“Dwight’s been very instrumental,” Reid told Sky Sports. “I think he’s scored nearly 30 goals. To do that with a side positioned where we are is a great credit to him. I think he’s one for the future.”
