The Open Trials will be open to players in the following five age groups:
•    School year 3 – U8s
•    School Year 5 – U10s
•    School Year 7 – U12s

Trials co-ordinator Lee Boyce said Open Trials give players an opportunity to catch the eye of Academy coaches.

“West Ham as a Club are moving into an exciting new era and the Academy will be playing a major part in that. With players like Reece Oxford who at 16 making his senior debut and Reece Burke who has already made several first team appearances, the academy is continuing to produce talent for the future.

“With this is in mind we will be holding more open trials at two venues this summer as we continually look to bring talented footballers into the West Ham Academy.”
