How to be detected by a professional club?
The good news is that the French detection system is one of the best in the world!
With few exceptions, it is at the age of 12 to 13 that clubs become interested in the best players .
Depending on your level, we advise you to join, at this age, a “sports studies” school or a pre-training center . From there, selections are made to direct the best towards a professional club . If you have talent and your club has good results, then you have a good chance of being spotted by a professional club recruiter, who will offer you to join their team. In France, there are around 30 recognized pre-training centers and it is difficult to be accepted. It's not enough to show up one fine morning to hope to be recruited.
These centers organize open days at various levels to detect the best elements and welcome them into their workforce.
