Every tryout day will begin with a 10–15-minute warmup to ensure that players are prepared for the day.

 

Players will be asked to complete a group run around the field. Player fitness is very important!

 

Players will showcase skills through technical progressions. These will include drills like juggling, one and two touch passing, passing patterns, driven long distance passing, and crossing/finishing drills.

 

Players will be split into small groups where they will play in a smaller playing area. This is to ensure all players are able to showcase their abilities prior to moving into larger 11v11 side games.

 

Players will be placed into teams based on positions and will rotate through games. This is to see the player in their natural position on the field.

 

 

Players will be evaluated based on a number of characteristics. These include things like:

Technical ability

Tactical ability (understanding of the game itself)

Physical (cardio, speed, strength while playing)

Offensive play

Defensive play

Work ethic

Communication
