Tryouts

The coaching staff will assign players a numbered pinnie to identify each candidate and collaborate player assessments to identify and make team placements.  Players will return their assigned pinnie each day to be washed by the coaching staff. A rating scale will be used to identify players on their technical skills, tactical awareness, physical fitness, physical attributes (speed, strength, quickness, etc.), psychological/social aspects (team player, work rate, leadership, enthusiasm, etc.), game/team impact and commitment. Goalkeepers will be assigned a different colored pinnie for identification and will be evaluated on goalie specific skills, tactics, and communication. All players will be ranked and placed on initial teams with movement taking place if impact/play or team needs dictate so at any point during the season. Varsity team selection will also be based off of positional/team needs. 

 

A variety of activities will be used to evaluate players throughout the week:  technical exercises, individual activities, small-sided games, match fitness, and 11v11 scrimmages.  Please note that fitness tests will be conducted
