Soccer tryouts

I am moving to Colombia and would like to tryout for a soccer team. I've tried e-mailing clubs but most addresses come back as null. Does anyone know how tryingout for a club works? My mom tells you just have to get recruited in barrios and such, but I want to try a less arbitrary method.

Alguen me puede decir como trabaja el sistema de ensayos para clubes de futbol en colombia? Quisiera jugar por Santa Fe o a lo menos entrenar con ellos pero no tengo idea como trabaja el sistema.

if you have tried mailing and no luck perhaps try calling the individual teams...I'm assuming you are very, very talented.
En Colombia hay mucha rosca viejo....si ud. no conoce a alguien que le pueda dar palanca le va a quedar mas dificil.
I would still go to Colombia and talk to your peers there.
Where do you live? I don't mean to offend so please don't take any offence but if you were any good you would have been noticed by now.

If you have played at club level in Europe or elsewhere then surely you could use that on your CV, perhaps get a letter of recomendation from a former coach. I mean you aren't Fabrizio Miccoli or somebody are you?

If you have only played football in a school environment you will have a tough time and perhaps might get noticed playing local but not club level football once you arrive in Colombia.

Tapia... como decimos aqui... La Cara del Santo es la Que hace El milagro!! Es decir, sugiero que venga y visite personalmente los clubes. Por telefono no creo que vaya a lograr nada. La forma mas facil seria venir a Bogota y hablar con los entrenadores de las divisiones menores o las reservas. Ahora... no entiendo por que razon alguien querria jugar en Santa Fe. Go figure!

santi casi le sacamos algo contra millos el domingo....me pille el partido y Quindio domino por 75 minutos...despues de eso el balet azul se comio mas de una oportunidad....no hay nada mal en perder de visitante contra Millos en esta Copa Mustang que empesaron rebien ganando los primeros 6 partidos pero despues perdieron los 4 siguientes....aunque todavia estan muy bien ubicados para clasificar entre los 8 primeros parece que el Santa Fe puede conseguir el cupo para la Libertadores por la reclasificacion......yo quedo satisfecho despues de que Quindio no baje a la primera B

uy Qman agradezco su comentario del 'Ballet Azul', pero desafortunadamente de eso ya queda poco, todavia somos azules, pero no somos ningun ballet... triste pero cierto. Ahora, como le ganamos al quindio? no me pregunte porque no se, creo que debio ganar su equipo. Espero que no se vayan pa la B... seria muy triste. Mejor que se vaya el Chico.. no cree? Ahora, de campeon quien puede quedar...? Si no queda Millos (lo mas posible) prefiero que quede el que sea menos Nacional o America. Prefiero DIM o Junior.
Saludos compaƱero!
