Tryouts

Our tryout sessions

One day to be seen, evaluated and advised by our staff. Warm-up and conditioning with Sadoukane, technical drills and team play with Mélanie, and a one-on-one interview with JC.

What happens on the day

Warm-up & conditioning

Run by Sadoukane Gaye, founder of SDK Fitness Academy: getting you ready, preventing injury, and running physical testing.

Individual technical drills

Individual sessions led by Mélanie Jérôme: fundamentals, reading the game, mechanics. Every player is observed and rated.

Team play sequences

Filmed live play and game situations, to measure your real impact and to feed your scouting file.

One-on-one interview

A conversation with JC about your grades, your English, your budget and your goals — and an honest read on what is realistic.
