Trials

The SAFA/Transnet Football School of Excellence strives only to accept the most talented players into the School, as space is limited.

The School works on a sports bursary sponsored by Transnet and covers, academics, football and residential costs.

Enrolment and acceptance are conducted via trials. The date of the trials will be announced on the website.

Admissions

Trial dates have been postponed. We will announce the new trial dates soon on the website!
