Inter Miami held invite-only try-outs for 550 players to fill the club's developmental academy. The club is looking to narrow the list to 120 players between the U-12 and U-19 age brackets.

The players will be judged on a combination of athleticism, technical skill, field vision, and attitude.  

“This is a big milestone for us to build a professional development academy with youth players in South Florida — from Palm Beach all the way down to the Florida Keys. We are establishing a solid foundation to give our local players the best opportunities to grow and pursue professional careers with our club’s first team and beyond," said sporting director Paul McDonough.
