Player Eligibility

To be eligible for the Assessment Trials a player must fulfil all elements in either of the two criteria detailed in the Player Eligibility Policy.

LFE Contact Information Sharing Policy

LFE has created a Contact Information Sharing Policy in order to facilitate and monitor official and genuine opportunities. All scouts and agents are advised to familiarise themselves with this policy before attending the trials.

SQWAD for Scouts

The LFE is happy to announce this year’s assessment trails will be run with the help of The SQWAD. We will be using their app SQWAD SCOUT to provide the player data digitally. This is being done in an effort to increase accuracy and efficiency as the data will be available real-time for everyone that participates. We encourage every Scout to download the app via the App Store or Google Store, and after creating their user account they can use the code LFE150 to get access to all the scouting services. This code will give scouts access to their rich library of services for 5 months free of charge.

SQWAD SCOUT will provide the following for the Trials:

  • Player profile
  • Player highlights
  • Team sheets
  • Match report
  • Evaluations forms
  • Tracking and management capabilities
  • File sharing
  • Scouting forms
  • Live video feeds

If you have any questions or need further assistance please contact Tony Robinson at [email protected]

Filming

All games are filmed and streamed live via LFE’s Facebook page.

Full games are available after the events via LFE’s Trials YouTube channel.

Full games will also be available through the SQWAD app after the events.

The games will be analysed and individual player packages will be made available to players free of charge via LFE’s Trials YouTube channel for further promotion to scouts/clubs.
