What to bring and wear to Tryouts:
Please wear a non-club-affiliated jersey to Tryouts. Each player will be assigned a numbered pinny prior to tryouts. Players must wear cleats and shin guards and bring a water bottle. Tryout Activities: You will notice that Tryouts held at South County Youth Soccer tend to consist of some iteration of small-sided games. SCYSC highly values and has had success evaluating players during real, game-like scenarios rather than any specific 'drills'. In this way, common technical skills like footwork, passing and shooting can be assessed, but also so can other skills like: positioning, defensive ability, decision making, communication skills and overall game awareness.
During these activities, independent and qualified Evaluators will be assessing every player individually. |
