Tryout Objectives and Evaluation Methodology
|
Player tryouts are offered once a year and are organized and supervised by the Competitive Director. The purpose of the tryout process is to provide all players with a fair opportunity to join a team with peers in their age and skill groups.
Objective: Our objective is to form the strongest boys/girls teams in each age group. To do this we intend to:
Age groups & Eligibility: Teams will be formed according to the following age brackets of play.
Team formation: In general, first consideration is given to skill level and matching abilities. While consideration may be given to keep existing teams (from prior seasons) together, new players and those demonstrating improvement will be given a fair evaluation. Placement on a prior year team is no guarantee of future team placement. Players will be encouraged to play in their designated age group where possible. If there are enough players, multiple teams will be formed, resulting in A, B, and C teams. Team assignments will be made by the Competitive Director and/or Competitive Subcommittee.
Tryout Attendance: Players wishing to participate on a competitive team must pre-register and attend tryouts on the published dates. Players unable to attend a tryout must submit a waiver request in writing to the Competitive Director, no later than 7 days prior to the start of tryouts. Waiver requests must include reason for not attending the tryout. Players wishing to join a team after tryouts have passed or mid-season must also contact the Competitive Director. Evaluations: SCYSC will use unbiased evaluators to evaluate players with a standard set of criteria. This criteria includes:
During tryouts, only registered players and evaluators will be allowed on the field of play. Players will receive numbered bibs to ensure evaluators can accurately identify players and document results. The tryout will feature various skill and game play stations. At the discretion of the Competitive Program Committee, players may be invited to participate in a call-back tryout for further evaluation. These callbacks will be scheduled approximately two weeks following the initial evaluation. Team Formation Timelines: Following tryouts and potential callbacks, the Competitive Program Committee will work with prospective coaches and parents to solidify rosters. This process does take a few weeks, the goal for final team formation is by the end of June. |
