Tryout information
|
On field evaluations will take place at Tuckertown fields Monday, May 19th - Thursday, May 22nd. All current and new players who want to play next year will need to register. Registration is free and does not commit you to playing next season.
Players should wear shin guards and cleats and bring a soccer ball and water bottle to tryouts.
Please arrive atleast 10 minutes early to check in. Parents are very strongly encouraged to drop their children off following check-in and return 10 minutes prior to the planned end of the tryout. The purpose of this is to lessen athlete stress, maximize fun, and encourage players to think for themselves and make decisions on and off the ball without any outside pressure. |
*All U15-U19 players (born 2007-2011) interested in playing next year please register for tryouts so that we can collect your interest. There will be no formal tryout at this time. We will communicate after tryouts if we have enough players to form a team for the fall and/or the spring season.

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. Team Formation Timelines: Following tryouts, the Competitive Program Committee will work with the Technical Director and prospective coaches to solidify rosters. While the process can be complex, our goal is to send out offers within two weeks. The Competitive Director will keep families informed of the status and timelines throughout. |
COMPETITIVE Season PROGRAMMING and costs

Our competitive program participates in Super Liga, a Soccer RI Sanctioned club-level season-long tournament. Super Liga consists of gender specific competition based on skill level at Anchor (A-level), Classic (B-level), and Rhody (C-level) divisions. Players will be selected for SCYSC competitive teams aligned to the A/B/C Superliga divisions based on skill level and age based groups as numbers permit.
