We send our promising players (18 years and older) or coaches for an Exchange
programme to overseas Clubs or Academies, while the overseas players come to us for
the same / other period. There is an Agreement between us, the player and the Club.
SRA must ensure that the player is well conditioned, with good key skills in his position –
so that he can add good value to the Club in terms of their playing level, enthusiasm
and leadership. The player must also have good values and mature enough to adapt
to the new environment and culture.
After our final discussion with the Club, the Club will have a formal interview (Skype or
phone call) with the player. Then the Club provide a formal Invitation letter explaining
specific aspects in more detail. Normally the Club will arrange accommodation / food,
club kit and transport - and we will do the same here. The spending money and flight
costs will be for the player’s account, but assistance can be considered depending on
the needs of the club, player or coach.
The player must be an example on and of the pitch for his team mates and younger
players who will look up to him. He will be a true ambassador for the Club while in his
profession.
