Trials

All players who have joined both the invitation only tiers of the Player Development Pathway have undergone a successful trial with the Football Development Programme. Trials are by invitation only. Under the rules and regulations governing all Academy activities we cannot invite players in for trials unless they:

Live within 1 hour travelling time from home to the chosen trial venue (trialist: under 7 to under 11 age groups).

Live within 1.5 hour travelling time from home to the chosen trial venue (trialist: under 12 to under 16 age groups).

To request a trial opportunity to join our Ipswich Town Player Pathway, please feel free to get in touch by contacting our Boys Football Development Officer via email at bradley.joy@itfc.co.uk titled – Boys Trial Request – outlining the following six points:

More information:

  •         Players Name
  •         Age Group/ school year for the season
  •         Date of Birth
  •         Parents Mobile Number
  •         Club Team Currently Playing For
  •         Brief playing experience & position

From this, Brad will provide a date for the trial to take place. Players who are successful will then be invited to join the appropriate tier along our player pathway journey.
