PSC SUCCESS IN SWEDEN
DO PLAYERS REALLY SIGN CONTRACTS AND EARN TRIALS AFTER
                                 ATTENDING PSC SHOWCASES?
 PSC’s Showcase Tours have proved to be a successful pathway for aspiring players since PSC’s first showcase event, back in 2010.

 Many individuals ask if players really get signed after attending PSC tours – the answer is yes. We have seen players from all backgrounds and ages, with varied experience, offered deals
 all around the world following a successful tour.

 There is a belief among many individuals that a professional soccer resume and background is required in order to receive a contract or trial offer after attending our events, but that is
 completely false; our events and tours were created to offer players who are without that experience professional opportunities.

 Professional opportunities are offered based on how individuals perform during the tour, both in showcase matches and training. Attending coaches, scouts and our Agency staff will
 assess players throughout the tour.

 Listed below are examples of players who have received contract or trial offers, without prior professional experience, after attending PSC’s Showcase Tours:

DO PLAYERS REALLY SIGN CONTRACTS AND EARN TRIALS AFTER
                                 ATTENDING PSC SHOWCASES?
Many businesses and individuals have tried to replicate our events/tours in recent years - we take this as a compliment. Our tour directors and staff have many
years of experience in the professional soccer industry – this creates pathways into the game for players at all levels.

Our aim is to provide a service for individuals who are striving for exposure, experience and professional opportunities. We understand that it’s very difficult for
players without a professional background, or limited experience, to acquire professional trials and contracts.

Individuals who have attended our events in the past have earned opportunities at all levels - from Europe’s, Asia’s and the USA’s top tiers, down to the lower
tiers.

We believe that it’s crucial to be able to expose players to opportunities in all divisions in as many countries as possible. Whether it’s a top-tier club that an
individual receives an offer from, or a lower tier club that can offer the player a full-time environment to play league football - we strive to source clubs that can
offer individuals a professional football experience and an opportunity to climb the footballing ladder.

SHOWCASE AIMS AND FAQS
                                                                                  Aims
  To showcase selected talented players from America to clubs around Europe from the top tiers to lower divisions. PSC’s Agency staff and coaches will be looking to
expose out-of-contract and aspiring players to professional clubs and scouts in Europe within the PSC network. We will look to test and evaluate players in competitive
 game situations against European opposition, this will help us decide if individuals have the capabilities to play at the professional level in Europe, Asia and the USA.
 The tour will be an intense showcase, allowing PSC to monitor players’ performances, attitude, mentality and day-to-day habits in a professional team environment.
      Throughout the trip our staff will be looking to educate and develop players to the best of their abilities, in order to get the maximum results on the pitch.

We aim to give every player the best possible coaching, team experience and exposure in order to showcase to the best of their abilities. It is essential for our directors
 and coaching staff to see how players perform over an extended period of time against professional opposition, in order to gauge a true reflection of ability and level
                     of play. Over the years many players have gained contracts and further trials after performing to a high level during our tours.

                                                                                  Why July?
July is a perfect time to visit Sweden as weather conditions are typically perfect for playing football and the Scandinavian transfer window (a part of the world where
                         PSC have a lot of strong relationships with clubs) is open – so it’s a perfect time for players to join a club if they impress.

                                                                    Which clubs will be attending?
We will be working closely with a number of clubs from Europe and America, and will select the best sides within our network to attend the Showcase Tour, primarily
Scandinavian and Baltic clubs, as these are the easiest places for non-European players to make their first step. We will also be recruiting on behalf of some of these
                                                                                clubs.

      Our recent tours of the Scandinavian and Baltic region have seen many top-tier sides in attendance, and consisted of some excellent matches against high-
level opposition. For many years our tours have proved to be a successful route for aspiring players to make their first step into the game. The tours offer an excellent
                                                 opportunity for players to be scouted by numerous coaches/scouts.
SHOWCASE AIMS AND FAQS
                                                   What standard of opposition can I expect to face?

      Our last trip to Portugal saw players compete against clubs from the second to the fifth tiers. We aim to put players in a realistic showcase
                    environment, suited to their level of play, so they can impress attending scouts, coaches, and PSC’s Agency staff.

                                                             What happens if I get an offer?

     If a player is offered a contract by an attending club on tour, the deal will be negotiated by PSC Management. If a player has an agent prior to
   attending the trip, it is the player’s responsibility to inform their agent that he/she will not be allowed to negotiate directly with the club. PSC will
discuss any contract offer on behalf of the player and will look to find the best terms and deal for the player. We offer players realistic feedback at the
                          end of the tour, and individuals will need to compete at a high level if they wish to be placed with a club.

                              What are the benefits of attending a PSC Showcase Tour as opposed to an individual trial?

Between 7-10 professional clubs and scouts will be watching the showcase games at one time, as well as our Agency staff, who have contacts all over
the world. Attendees will be able to showcase themselves to a number of clubs looking for players during this two-week period. Additionally, players
                    have the opportunity to display their professional capabilities to our Agency staff, both on and off the field.

Tour attendees will be playing test matches with an organized, motivated squad, in a competitive environment - this will allow attending clubs and our
Agency staff to make quick decisions and evaluate all of the free agent players on show. We provide players with a quick evaluation from a number of
                                                     different clubs during a short period of time.

 Many American-based players do not have prior professional playing experience, therefore it can be very difficult for them to get individual trials with
top-tier clubs in Europe. Over the last seven years our showcases have proved to be a very effective way of placing players with a college, PDL, NPSL or
                                                      USL background into the professional game.
SHOWCASE AIMS AND FAQS

                        What are the benefits of attending a PSC Showcase Tour as opposed to an individual trial? (Continued)

    If we see enough potential in a player we will look to find a suitable club for that individual, even if none of the attending clubs offer a contract.
     Nothing is guaranteed and players will be expected to perform consistently if they are looking to earn a contract or extended trial with a club.

Every player on the tour will receive top-class professional coaching from European coaches, who will pass on their experience of the game. Players will
   be treated as professionals throughout the showcase, interacting with coaches and staff who know what it takes to become a professional at the
                                                                       highest level.

Tour attendees will be provided with detailed feedback of their performance during the tour, as well as expert technical and tactical advice on how to
             improve their game. Providing players with valuable knowledge on a daily basis ensures quick and efficient development.

Our expert staff will prepare players to compete effectively against European opposition during the Showcase Tour. Our tours have seen players make
                    considerable improvements during a short space of time, thanks to our top-level coaching and professionalism.

  We’ve had many successful showcase players who have earned contracts with attending clubs and via Agency staff recommendations. It is vital,
however, that attendees understand that only those players who perform well, stand out, and prove they are capable of playing professionally will
                                                          be recommended to clubs.

TERMS & CONDITIONS

area’s as long as completed in advance. We recommend applying for a visa as soon as possible. If a player does not go through the
necessary procedures to secure a visa in time they are not entitled to a refund. US Passport holders do not need a visa to enter
