PSC’s California Pro soccer tryout is an opportunity for players to showcase live to professional coaches and earn professional trials and contracts in Europe.

PSC tryouts have produced over 600 professional trials and contract for players in the last 15 years. We are the most successful in the industry and have been featured on International News Station Sky Sports (Click to view) as well as US news stations in Florida (click to view) and North Carolina (Click to view).

We have placed players in leagues as high as the EPL, such as Oleksandr Zinchenko at Manchester City (EPL), as well as Paul Cooper at Barnsley FC (English League One) and Anthony Herbert in the Finland Premier League who went on to play in the Europa Conference League and represent his National Team in his first pro season.

At our tryouts players are directly coached by, and showcased to, Coaches of professional clubs and are genuine pathways to the professional game.

Our recruitment team are not only looking for players ready for direct first team placement but are also able to assist with USL, MLS and European academy placement.

California Pro Soccer Tryout Attending Coaches and Scouts

PSC have a strong relationship with USL League One Club Northern Colorado having worked with Head Coach Eamon Zayed and Head Assistant Coach Colin Falvey for the last 5 years. Both coaches have attended PSC tryouts previously and selected players for further opportunities. In February 2024 they trialed three players from PSC’s Winter tryouts. The club finished 3rd last season, losing in the playoff semi finals to eventual champions North Carolina. They will be expecting another strong season in 2024 as they look to add strength to their roster from our California pro soccer tryout.

Coach Mark Miller has been working with PSC for nearly ten years and in that time has assisted with the placement of over 20 players in Malta across the top two tiers. Having placed over 10 players in the Maltese Premier League Miller has also been responsible for the recent signing of Kalani Delarole with FC Zurrieq. He will be attending our California Pro Soccer Tryout in search of more players who can play in the Maltese Premier League.

B71 Sandoy have been working with PSC for the last 3 years on player recruitment and enjoy a strong relationship with Head Coach Richard Goffe who has been regularly attending tryouts in that time. Coach Goffe trusts PSC's judgment of players and he will either be in attendance in person at our California pro soccer tryout or PSC Directors Tom Taylor & Simon Deeley will be recruiting on his behalf. The club have offered contracts to nine players from PSC tryouts in the last 3 years and are a realistic pathway into the professional game. Tryout attendees who have signed with B71 include Brian Okpala, James Drye, Joel Vazquez, Carter Beck, Jovanni Garcia and in 2023 already they have signed Alejandro Medina and Sulahmana Bah.

Over the last 9 years, Bodens BK have regularly attended PSC’s pro soccer tryouts and signed/trialed over 25 players through PSC. The club have provided PSC with an official mandate to recruit from our California pro soccer tryout. Many PSC players have benefited from this relationship such as Eddy Prugh who scored 21 goals for the club over 3 seasons and earned a move to Colorado Switchbacks in the USL, Andy Lorei, who scored 15 goals for the club and earned a move to the Tulsa Roughnecks of the USL. Bodens won the league in 2022, gaining promotion to Division One with a squad that included Zishim Bawa & Chris Banfi, both signed from PSC tryouts and strengthened their squad with PSC Recommendation Vincenzo Candela in 2023.

Maltese First Division side FC Zurrieq will be in attendance at our California pro soccer tryout in search of more players they can add to their roster from PSC tryouts. The club signed 18-year-old Kalani Delarole from a PSC tryout this season who has gone on to score 20 goals for the U20 team and also make his professional debut this campaign scoring 4 goals for the first team.

Nisa side Capo FC will be using PSC’s California Pro Soccer Tryout to recruit players to strengthen their squads. As well as competing in NISA, the club also operate a USL League 2 club so are able to provide a pathway for all levels to progress up the US soccer pyramid.

Over the last 10 years PSC Agency staff have recommended over 600 players from tryouts like this for professional contract and trial. Our agency staff have so many connections and contacts from events and combines over the years and it is not possible to invite them all to a tryout. We are eager to get as many players placed as possible and are constantly reaching out to clubs to find out their player needs. Recent examples of players who were placed with clubs who were not in attendance directly at a tryout and signed players based on PSC's recommendation are Anthony Herbert signing with FC Haka in the Finnish Premier League (went on to represent National Team and play in Europa conference League in first full year as a pro), Leo Londe trialing with Sheffield United in the EPL,  Abdul Mansaray signing in Iceland (named in team of the year for his league) and Chris Banfi, who signed with Bodens BK in Sweden. Each of these were signed by coaches who did not directly attend a combine but trusted PSC’s professional experience and judgment. If you prove you are a strong enough player at our California Pro Soccer Tryout, we will look to recommend and place you with any club in our network.

Players are often requesting our agency for video footage from our events they can use for highlight videos.
