Open trials for the Tranmere Rovers Futsal team

Tranmere Rovers are holding open trials for the men’s futsal team on Sundays 10 and 17 July at the Futsal Hub from 2-4pm.

After announcing the club’s entry into the FA National Futsal League for 2016-17 and the appointment of UEFA A Futsal coach Damon Shaw, the club is now urging players to step forward and trial to represent Tranmere Rovers in the new campaign that starts on 11 September.

Tranmere Rovers Futsal have already secured the services of Ed Bryers, 30, an experienced futsal player from Birkenhead, who has played for Tranmere Victoria, Liverpool and Manchester.

Ed said, "I have taken a step-down from Super League to play here, but that is because I believe in the exciting vision that has been created here and want to be part of the success story that I am sure it is going to become."

"With Ed we’ve got an experienced player, so I’m happy with the start we’ve made in recruitment. Now we need to find at least 11 more players before the season starts in September," said the incoming manager Damon Shaw.

"I’m not looking for a particular profile of player, but for players who will be willing to learn, work together for the team and contribute something."

If successful, players will be invited to continue training in pre-season and the squad will be finalised throughout August and September.

There is no cost to playing for Tranmere Rovers FC Futsal. Playing kit will be provided and travel to away matches will be organised by the Club. Training will be twice weekly at the Futsal Hub and matches will be played on Sundays.

"I’m urging everybody to come and give it a go. It’s a chance to be part of a fantastic project backed fully by the Club and a chance to play all over the country in a national competition, travel abroad and perhaps one day represent England," concluded Shaw.

Trials are open to players aged 15+ (will only be eligible to play matches at 16) and are free to attend. Please contact dawnt@tranmererovers.co.uk for more information, but also feel free to show up on 10th and 17th July. Damon Shaw will be in attendance on July 17.

If you have left school aged 16-18 and are interested in studying a BTEC in Sport, you could also be offered a full-time scholarship. For more information please visit www.tranmererovers.co.uk.
