The trial day will pit the hopeful trialists against a team from Burton Albion, and current first year students competing in the National Youth Development League.
They will take each other on in a series of games under the watchful eye of the STITC coaches, where everyone will be given a fair chance to impress.
Those attending trials will have to confirm their place to Jade Hibbert by no later than 10am on 19th April. You can reach her at jade.hibbert@shrewsburytown.co.uk
