FAQS
What are the coaches looking for?
The coaches will be assessing the potential of players against the standards required to be in JD Club NI. It is important to be aware that the JD Club NI squad only includes 25 players at your age group across all of Northern Ireland so we would encourage players not to be disappointed if you don’t get selected this time and to keep on working at and enjoying your football.
How will the coaches select the players?
All the coaching staff involved in the trials process are highly qualified and experienced coaches and are used to working on talent identification of players. The coaches will be considering the trialists in line with the standard of players in JD Club NI. During the trails process the coaches will quickly get to know the players and will quietly record the names of any players they would like to recommend for further monitoring. At the end of the trials day the coaches will work together to identify a small number of trialists to progress to the next round.
Why aren’t girls being trialled this year?
The trials are organised by JD for the boys Club NI system which JD sponsor. The Girls Excellence Programme is sponsored by our Women’s Football partner Electric Ireland.
Will there be specific goalkeeper coaches?
Yes
How do I contact the JD trials?
Once registered you will receive all information about your trial so please do wait for this as it will provide full details. Please note due to the large number of trialists we would ask participants not to send individual enquires as full details will be provided.

We will inform those players that are successfully through to the next round via email by the Wednesday following the trial. Only those successful will receive an email, if you don’t get an email you will have been unsuccessful.
Will players be provided with feedback?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide individual feedback to all the trialists due to the large numbers involved though we would encourage all players to continue working hard in their clubs.
