[LeedsUtdFTW]

@RyansRapChannel Got the exact same problem mate!

[tag1989]

LOL@THE IPHONE

[3rk4u]

@RyansRapChannel hey ryan,its gr8 that u r showing loyalty to your club,but being a big fish in a small pond doesnt allways work,it depends if u want to get scouted,if yeh i would move on,search the internet for good sucessfull junior clubs near u,also find out what local clubs ac t as feeders to proffessional clubs,and apply for a trial,if your good enugh and playing at a junior club with strong links to pro clubs u will get a trial,good luck .

[Alderlex4]

@3rk4u i am in australia and real pro club scouts dont come here to see you. i got scouted to play for local clubs but the promise is always the same. a big lie for a young player.

Then they want money from my family so I get a chance to play in the seniors but i play only reserves that no one watches. I am good enough but in Australia it is NOT LIKE in Europe were being good is the way to get a chance.

[prasanthcr7]

@3rk4u mate i am in india here people have a craze of cricket not of football i really want to play at high level but cant.i am 13 physically fit but nothing can change a thing man here.hope it gets better in future.

I WILL SURELY MAKE IT TO HIGH LEVEL REMEMBER THE NAME V.PRASANTH.

[TheHopey97]

Im nt that good strker, defender or keeper... can i still get scouted out?

[mrmarvinasoro1]

is it possible to get a profclub if u are 15 or 16?

[mrgassmask]

I only have 1 dream and that is to become a pro and play for Manchester United, I know i will so remember my name Sam Prashar it will be famous

[prasanthcr7]

@mrgassmask i also want to play for manchester united ! lets meet their man

[brianruiz123456]

Im 13 football isz my passion ....i had a injury for over a year nd when i kick with my laces it hurts .....shuld i keep trying or give up.?

[JustAllan14]

@brianruiz123456 never back down.

[3rk4u]

the best advice i would give any young kid is to start at the lower league clubs, regardless of if they have acadamey status or not,bcos,they take player development more serious and kids r more likely to get a chance as they depend on the revenue and a transfer fee if u move on.also as a parent u should try an keep ur son away till aged 12+ as putting them in to early places undue pressure on them,n make sure the junior club they play for has qualified coaches at least fa level2,good luck

[Alex90780]

I've been in a Centre of Excellence but I didn't feel like it was going anywhere.

[badomar17]

@Alex90780 What Do you Mean dude ?? did you learn something or what ?? i really need your answer becaus ei'm thinking of going to centre of excellence ..thanx in advance

[jimbob3400]

i love football. it is the first thing i think about when i wake up and the last thing before i go to bed. i suffer from bad knee pain but i will continue to train through it every single day for 2 hours, i hope one day i will become a pro.

[prasanthcr7]

@jimbob3400 hwy mate i got the same problem i got a bone swelling (right)

[OIHACKERXX]

I need ur opinion. I'm 14 years old and I have a desire to go pro. I live in NYC and I play for a club (a good club) around my area. I've been there for over a year and I have improved massively. Now I'm thinking of joining the red bull academy and see if u can sign a professional contract with them in the future. Any advice?

[andresboulton]

I see they have iPhones in Britain, eh?

[iTripFatKidSs]

@TheLeyend10 Im sure your a really good footballer, but its not skills that get you scouted

[LiLxGai]

I am 15years old, still playing for a local club but working hard to get into a good team.

Dream- to play football at professional level.

after 5years - I WILL BE A MAN WITH ACCOMPLISHED DREAM.

[Zeroes123]

I am a bit overweight can i still live my dream?

[EstupedMexicanz]

@Zeroes123 Lose your weight, and if its not that bad of weight yeah because look at Blanco, HES FAT AS HELL.

[batmansbrother1]

@Zeroes123 aye it doesnt matter there is a few bigger players you dont need to be stick thin

[spaniardrcks]

[babbeshamsen]

Very informative if you are a young player looking to find out how to play professional football for your local club. I think most clubs have a football in the community scheme
