Assessment with evidence.
Opportunity with a clear route.
OTSI lists verified trials, combines, showcases and assessment events when available. Each route creates structured observation — it does not guarantee representation, selection or transfer.

11. PREPARE YOUR SUBMISSION
PLAYER / PROFILE SUBMISSION
Build your profile and be ready when opportunities open.
Your submission does not guarantee invitation, representation or transfer.
12. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Players may apply directly, a guardian may apply on a minor's behalf, and clubs, academies or scouts may nominate a candidate — every application is still subject to eligibility checks and consent.
An open trial uses broader eligibility with staged screening. An invitation-only assessment is evidence-led — you are shortlisted directly rather than applying openly.
OTSI does not charge players to take part in a verified assessment. Any programme-specific costs would be disclosed clearly before you apply.
Yes. Anyone under 18 requires guardian consent before any assessment, filming or evidence collection can take place — see Safeguarding, Consent & Data Boundaries above.
Only authorised observers within their approved scope. We publish no public scores or selection lists, in line with this page's safeguarding rules.
Filming and data use are consented and purpose-limited — restricted to the specific assessment they were collected for, never used more broadly.
Outcomes range from further observation to development guidance or a club pathway discussion — or no current progression. Every outcome requires authorised review, and none is guaranteed.
Because no trial or showcase opportunity currently carries a published status. The listing above honestly reflects real system state and will show real opportunities as soon as any are authorised.
