OCSM Trial Days · Queen Ethelburga's College
One day. Highly qualified coaches. A full assessment of your game — and the first step towards a U.S. college placement with Oliver Charles Sports Management.
The Day
Run by highly qualified coaches, each trial day is structured to show us everything we need to see — how you train, how you think, and how you compete.
Focused work in small groups so every player gets real touches, real coaching, and real attention from the staff.
Position-relevant technical work that lets us assess your fundamentals under the eye of qualified coaches.
Competitive small-sided formats — decision-making, intensity, and personality on the ball all come to the surface.
The day finishes with full-size matches — recorded in full and live-streamed to our coaches across the USA.
The Standard We Set
We set high standards for the players we recruit — because we own our own clubs in the USA. Every selection decision comes down to one question: is this player good enough to play for one of our teams?
We assess the playing level, academic picture and family goals before recommending next steps. Selection, playing opportunities and college offers are individual decisions, not guaranteed outcomes.
Every player is assessed on the day and receives feedback after the event — honest, specific, and useful whatever the outcome.
The 11 v 11 games are recorded in full — giving you professional footage if you don't already have it, with links included in your attendance.
Games are streamed live to our coaches across the United States — you're being watched by decision-makers from the first whistle.
The Pathway
Our selection process is a designed pathway — every stage builds towards your commitment to a U.S. college and beyond.
Train and compete for a full day at Queen Ethelburga's. Our coaches assess every player, and everyone receives feedback after the event. From there, we make our selection of the players offered our placement services.
If selected, you sign on with Oliver Charles Sports Management — joining an agency that only takes on players it believes are good enough to play for its own clubs in the USA.
Build a strong profile with current playing evidence, then choose relevant events and recruiting support as opportunities develop. Neither participation nor a profile guarantees a college offer.
We guide you through the commitment process to the college you select, then provide ongoing management for as long as you retain us — summer teams, work visas, additional scholarship sourcing, double majors, master's degrees, internships, and general logistic management.

In Their Words
YOUR JOURNEY IN OCS CONNECT
We work hand-in-hand with your family. Your profile, OCS feedback, introductions, meetings and offers come together in Connect, with support chosen at each stage.
The athlete and parent create their own accounts and link to one family profile. Creating an account and building the profile are free.
Add your sport, footage, academics, ambitions and family budget. Submit the profile for OCS review; draft profiles stay private from coaches.
When a coach requests a conversation, review the interest and decide whether to unlock the introduction. We help coordinate the call.
Review offers and deadlines together. Choose agent guidance, highlights or other available services when they will help your journey.
Athletes and parents each create their own login. Whoever starts the player profile invites the other family members; accept that invitation to join the same profile rather than creating a duplicate.
It Starts Here
The October trial dates have passed. Build your player profile to get started; future events will have their dates and participation details confirmed when available.
