TS Galaxy opens doors for young football hopefuls at national talent trials in Midrand
From U13 hopefuls to near-professionals, young footballers are giving it their all as TS Galaxy searches for raw talent in Midrand.
For many young footballers, trials represent more than just a selection process; they are a gateway to hope, exposure, and a possible future in professional football.

These trials kicked off on January 5 and will run until January 10, featuring U13 to U20 boys and girls, with the U19 and U20 age groups taking centre stage at the American International School of Johannesburg in Midrand.
The initiative has drawn aspiring players from across the country, all eager to showcase their skills and earn a place within the professional football pipeline.
Trials take place daily from 08:00 to 13:00, with participants required to arrive prepared with a valid ID or birth certificate, football boots, shin guards, a training kit, and a registration fee of R400.
TS Galaxy president Tim Sukazi emphasised that the club is on a genuine search for quality talent, regardless of background or circumstance. “Ultimately, the child’s potential, at least in our eyes, should be of a level to take them through the years, up until they see a day in professional football.”

He said that they are a club redefining the opportunities in football. Current football has been known to be for the poor, destitute, and all that, but they believe that is a fallacy. Talent is talent, wherever it comes from. If a child has talent – God-given talent – they have to be afforded the opportunity.
As the trials progress smoothly, anticipation continues to build ahead of the final session on January 10, which will serve as the last opportunity for players to make a lasting impression on the TS Galaxy technical team.
