Intensive tryout inside the PSG Academy Pro residency in France

Individual performance report
For the player who wants to be judged on a full week of work inside a professional academy — and who is weighing up the ten-month programme but wants to see it from the inside first.
Strategy and Development
One Week Inside the PSG Academy Pro Residency
Most trials give a player one session to be seen in. This one places you inside the full-year residency squad for one to four weeks, training under the official Paris Saint-Germain methodology with PSG Academy-certified, UEFA- and FFF-licensed staff. The technical staff assess you across a whole week — training, recovery and competition — not across one afternoon.
Preparation Stage
01
Preparation and Conditioning
Up to five hours of football development a day at the intensity of a professional academy, in season rather than in a holiday window. Technical work, tactical set-up, position-specific sessions, strength and conditioning, and recovery — alongside players who train this way every day.
Access Trial
02
Access Trial for the Full-Year Programme
This is the route into the academy's ten-month full-year programme. The technical staff carry out a professional assessment during your stay; if they see the level and the attitude, a place is offered. Standout players from across PSG Academy Pro's programmes in France and the United States are also invited to the Top 44 — a week-long immersion at the official training centre, limited to 44 players a year.
Say plainly what this is not: it is not a trial for Paris Saint-Germain’s professional squad, and it does not put a player in front of the first team. It is a trial for the academy’s own full-year programme, and a route towards professional or college football from there.
Technical Optimization
The 3 Pillars of Training Success
The focus of the intensive programs moves away from a holiday format and centers on accelerated individual optimization.
1
Technical and Tactical Development
The official PSG methodology, built on six pillars: intelligence, intensity, competition, perception, creativity and confidence. Rondos, 1v1, offensive and defensive transitions, set pieces, formation work and position-specific sessions. Goalkeepers train on their own programme, led by the academy's head goalkeeping coach.
2
Physical Conditioning and Recovery
Strength and conditioning sessions for speed, agility, power and endurance; individual and collective injury-prevention routines; physiotherapy on campus as needed, a gym, and cold-water recovery.
3
Analysis, Mentality and Invisible Training
Matches recorded and reviewed, tactical study of professional teams, GPS performance data, mental conditioning with a sports psychologist, and professional talks on nutrition, hydration, sleep, recovery and what a career in football actually demands.
1. ¿Qué es este programa?
De una a cuatro semanas entrenando dentro de la residencia de la PSG Academy Pro en Evian, con la plantilla del programa anual, para que el cuerpo técnico evalúe al jugador como candidato a ese programa.
2. ¿Es una prueba para el primer equipo del PSG?
No. Es una prueba para el programa anual de la academia. Desde ahí hay camino hacia el fútbol profesional y universitario, pero no es un acceso al club profesional.
3. ¿Quién puede participar?
Chicos de 11 a 17 años, jugadores de campo y porteros, de nivel competitivo a élite y con al menos dos años de fútbol de competición. No es un programa para principiantes.
4. ¿Cuándo puedo ir?
En las semanas disponibles entre septiembre y mayo. Las plazas son limitadas, así que la semana se confirma antes de reservar.
5. ¿Voy a jugar partidos?
Puede que sí, pero no está garantizado. Depende del rendimiento del jugador, del calendario de competición de la plantilla anual, del tiempo y de la disponibilidad de campos.
6. ¿Con qué me vuelvo a casa?
Con una evaluación individual y un informe de rendimiento por escrito. Y, si el cuerpo técnico ve el nivel, con la oferta de una plaza en el programa anual de diez meses.
7. ¿Y el colegio?
La academia emite una carta de invitación para justificar la ausencia o apoyar la solicitud de visado.
8. ¿Está incluido el viaje?
No. Ni los vuelos o trenes ni los traslados desde el aeropuerto.
