Season: choose the season
Club : write down the name of the club

Statistiques : write down all the stats that you know (these are averages for the season). Be careful, don’t write anything down! The coaches will check this information and therefore you will be badly seen and probably not selected!
Coach : Specify the name of your coach(es) so that recruiters can contact them if they need more information.

NOTE : after adding the experience, you will be able to add links to web pages of stats, press articles etc. related to this experience.
