Clubs and trials

Clubs, academies, federations, agencies, schools and universities, brands and other organisations can have an account on Scoutyx. Organisation accounts are for adults, and need an active subscription.

Organisations cannot send or receive messages.

Anyone signed in to Scoutyx can open an organisation’s page. It can show its posts and stories, its staff and coaches, its trophies, its open trials and the athletes who train there. You can follow a club to see its posts and stories.

An organisation that wants to follow an athlete under 18 has to send a follow request, which the athlete, or the guardian for a younger athlete, can accept or decline.

A verified badge means we checked the organisation’s official email address or website, and the identity of the person running the account. Only verified organisations can post photos and stories, appear in the club search, and show their trials to athletes.

An athlete can show on their profile the club or academy they train at (up to two) and the agency that represents them (one). Choose the organisation in your profile: it appears once the organisation confirms. An organisation can also invite you, and the link appears once you accept. Either side can end a link at any time, and blocking ends it.

If you are under 16, your parent or guardian approves each link by email first, and the organisation is told nothing until they do.

For an athlete under 18, the club’s name on their profile, and their name on the club’s page, are shown only to the athlete, to the club itself and to scouts who have verified their identity. Everyone else sees only how many athletes the club has.

Cannot find your club? Tell us its name, city and type. It is not shown on your profile, and when the club joins Scoutyx and is verified, you get a notification and can send it a link request with one tap.

Verified organisations can publish open trials: the sport, the position, the age range, the place, the date and a description.

Athletes see the trials that match their sport and age, those in their own country first, in the Trials tab of their Inbox and on the club’s page. Tapping I’m interested only adds you to a count: the club sees how many athletes are interested, never who. To take part, contact the club yourself: Contact the club opens its website. A trial disappears after its date.

You can choose to be notified when a club posts a trial in your sport. Scoutyx is a discovery platform: a trial does not guarantee a place, a contract or a selection.
