Indian Super League (ISL) football franchise Delhi Dynamos will be holding open trials for children in the age group 11-13 from April 11 onwards, as part its grassroots programme.
Those born in 2002, 2003 or 2004 will get an opportunity to showcase their talent. The chosen ones will get a chance to be a part of a skill enrichment workshop and get to train alongside some of the best fresh talent from across the country.
The first of these open trials will be held in the Capital on April 11 at the Ambedkar Stadium, and will be open to all participants from the Delhi NCR area aged between 11 to 13 years.
The participants will be given a chance to showcase their talent under the guidance of the Delhi Dynamos FC's technical team. Talented children will be shortlisted to participate in the Reliance Foundation Young Champs selection camp. Delhi Dynamos FC hopes to find the next 'Face of Indian Football' from Delhi.
The Dynamos aims to create sustainable opportunities for children (born in 2002, 2003 or 2004) in the region through open trials.
In 2014, the inaugural year of the Hero Indian Super League, the Dynamos had initiated a grassroots football development program 'Junior Dynamos', which became one of the largest ever inter-school football tournament with participation of over 2400 players from over 180 schools.
"The Dynamos are now stepping up their game by holding Delhi's first ever open football trials to identify and nurture real footballing talent at a young age. DDFC hopes to refine these children's game skills, enhance their technical knowledge and ultimately mould them into professional football players," the Dynamos said in a statement.
