What do people believe scouts for in a player and if their any semi-pro's or pro's about, what did the scouts that saw them say stood out most?????

i was scouted ( used 2 b at bradford city u13s) n leeds n blackburn r after me because im a strong n fast player. I play up front but also track runners n generally help out my team. Also it helps if u can do something with the ball (i.e long accurate passes n take on players). Its also good if u have 2 feet( i only have 1). But also you musn't try to over do it n lose possesion.

You need to have something special about you talent is very notecible but you need to have leadership skills aswell try and encourage your team to do better, make sure you have the scouts attention scream for the ball make the scouts notice that you are on the field and don't be shy to go hard in the game (not to hard though). And one more tip if you score a goal don't make it look like its your first goal ever just celebrate in a way that looks like you score goals everyday.

Basically all you need is Leadership qualities, be able to work as part of a team, have the necessary ability, always know what you're doing with the ball, be confident and work hard! That's what got me through.

They look for the simple things done extremely well (fundamentals, passing, trapping, vision) and consistency. some flair is also needed but only if it benefits the team and isn't for show. They like to see you make an impact, not ball watch and not hide from the play. make hard tackles, make smart decisions. play to your strengths too, dont go try something new if a scout is watching and if you've never done it before.

Being an ex-scout before moving up to a head coaching position I can say with authority there is only one thing scouts look for:

Speed, speed and more speed.

Unless of course you're a keeper. Then all you need is to be really, really tall.

Thats ****************. Do you mean speed of thought, speed of skill? Because I know many slow players who have been signed.

From what I have seen...the Reigion Camp coaches like Keepers who can play with the ball at their feet well and players who can play pretty much anywhere. If you can play Fullback and halfback well and not do anything stupid, they will select you. Just play hard and play smart and dont do anything stupid, and you'll have a good chance...

Usually the eyes. Also a sense of humor is a must. And they mustn't be afraid to talk about their feelings.
