Horsham Football Club are a semi professional club based in North Sussex, England in the UK. The club is located just off the A24, approximately 1.5 miles from Horsham town centre, 3 miles from the mainline train station and 15 miles from Gatwick airport.
We welcome applications for youth team trials from dedicated and talented players who can demonstrate they can play at the highest level within their age group and above.
Our Under 13s, 14s and 15s will compete in the Mid-Sussex Youth League and our two Under 18 squads (for whom we welcome interest from Under 16s, 17s and 18s) will compete in the Southern Combination and Isthmian Youth Leagues.
Our youth squads will play in the top divisions of their respective leagues and therefore successful trial applicants must be willing, and able, to commit themselves to training twice a week (evening) and to playing at clubs, and venues, throughout East and West Sussex.
Previous youth team players have gone on to train with, and play for, the first team and a number have had trials at professional clubs, such as Brighton & Hove Albion, Crystal Palace, AFC Wimbledon, Charlton Athletic, Colchester United and West Bromwich Albion.
In the last five seasons two youth players have gone on to sign academy contracts with Nottingham Forest and Brighton & Hove Albion respectively.
Our coaching staff includes UEFA License holders and FA qualified coaches all of whom hold relevant safeguarding and first aid qualifications.
While our squads are predominantly made up of male players, Horsham Football Club welcomes female applicants who believe they are of a sufficient standard to compete in their relevant age group (up to under 15s)
Horsham Football Club will only consider trial requests from players currently resident in the UK. If you are not resident in the UK please do not submit a trial request. Horsham Football Club is not in a position to assist in, or offer advice on, seeking residency in the UK.
PLEASE ENSURE YOU REGULARLY CHECK JUNK/SPAM FOLDERS FOR RESPONSES TO TRIAL REQUESTS, AND RESPOND ACCORDINGLY TO THEM, OR YOU MAY MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND A TRIAL.
DUE TO THE CURRENT NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS, WE ARE CURRENTLY UNABLE TO GUARANTEE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRIAL
Safeguarding protocols dictate that we can only communicate directly with parents/guardians. Please ensure that the trial application comes from a parent/guardian email address, otherwise we may not be able to respond to you.
